We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Grease trap cleaning in Gatcombe, done properly
In Gatcombe, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you have washing-up water that won’t drain away and a small trap that fills too quickly, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Gatcombe, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Grease trap cleaning around Gatcombe
The FSA’s data shows about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Gatcombe. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in Gatcombe get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Gatcombe House, about 0.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses around Gatcombe; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. Hall and church kitchens, near St. Olave's Church or anywhere around Gatcombe, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
Gatcombe is about 2 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Sites in Gatcombe get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Our area takes in 125 places across the Isle of Wight, large and small. There’s also a page for Portsmouth, about 14 miles away.
Every address in PO30 is covered for grease trap cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. Whether your site is on Gatcombe Road, Rectory Lane and Newbarn Lane or a nearby road, we can help. We also cover Chillerton (1 mile south), Plaish (2 miles north-west), Clatterford (2 miles north), Bowcombe (2 miles north-west) and Carisbrooke (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Ryde (8 miles north-east), Cowes (6 miles north), Sandown (6 miles east), Shanklin (6 miles east), Ventnor (6 miles south-east) and East Cowes (6 miles north). For island and remote sites, the visit takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.
Near you in Gatcombe

When to call us in Gatcombe
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
School kitchens, at schools like Chillerton and Rookley Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Gatcombe
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Gatcombe and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Gatcombe questions
Can you get to a site in Gatcombe?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Gatcombe is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work overnight in Gatcombe?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Gatcombe can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we’ll give you a fixed quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. If you’re not sure what you have, send us a photo and we’ll confirm.
Leave it or put it right?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. The lasting fix starts with the trap. A planned visit to Gatcombe is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
