Grease trap cleaning in Godshill, done properly
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Godshill, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. The work covers inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and gurgling drains in the kitchen.
Work in a small place like Godshill starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Common problems we fix in Godshill
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and on towards the sewer, where it can form blockages.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A small trap that fills too quickly
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Whitecroft Hospital (about 3.2 miles north-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Common questions in Godshill
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Godshill?
The local authority for Godshill is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Can the work in Godshill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Godshill can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
There’s no single answer. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, but a clean generally takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. You will know before the visit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Godshill
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Godshill can be planned properly.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work

What else we do in Godshill
Grease trap cleaning in Godshill: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Godshill. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Godshill. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall kitchens near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Godshill may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Godshill Primary School or anywhere near Godshill, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
