In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Horton Heath
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Horton Heath, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. If you have an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, we can help, from restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks onwards.
For a kitchen near Horton Heath, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day, and the journey is planned ahead.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
What we’re called out for in Horton Heath
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Drains clogged with fat
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
Hall kitchens near Church of the Holy Cross or elsewhere in Horton Heath may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so water flows freely.
Horton Heath: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Horton Heath?
That’s Eastleigh council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Horton Heath. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you work overnight in Horton Heath?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Inline grease traps

- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.

Related advice
Why act early in Horton Heath
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. A quieter site near Horton Heath still needs its system looked after.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
