Grayshott: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Grayshott?
Food hygiene inspections in Grayshott are carried out by East Hampshire council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can you work in school kitchens in Grayshott during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Grayshott. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Grease trap cleaning in Grayshott
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. Common call-outs are for washing-up water that won’t drain away and drains that gurgle and bubble, on inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks.
For a kitchen near Grayshott, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

- Pot wash sinks

Grease trap cleaning in Grayshott: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Grayshott. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Grayshott. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Luke or elsewhere in Grayshott may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Haslemere and District Hospital, about 2.4 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Grayshott; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Do not store things on top of the trap
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
