Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Grease trap cleaning in Hoe Gate
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Hoe Gate, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks aren’t needed, so the kitchen keeps running. If you have a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and drains clogged with fat, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Hoe Gate, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s 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.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.

Hoe Gate kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in Hoe Gate and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Kitchens in Hoe Gate get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record. About 60 miles out from central London, Hoe Gate is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere in Hoe Gate, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Hoe Gate can be planned properly.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
