Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Kings Worthy
Can you come to Kings Worthy after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Kings Worthy keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Kings Worthy?
The local authority for Kings Worthy is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Kings Worthy
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you have grease setting in the kitchen pipework and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, we can help, from restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and school and care home kitchens onwards.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How we price grease trap cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Kings Worthy
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
Where a church or community hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Kings Worthy, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

Commercial kitchens in Kings Worthy
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 food manufacturers and packers within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Kings Worthy. Food production can send a lot of fat, oil and grease towards the drains, so traps and interceptors need emptying on a schedule. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kings Worthy. 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Kings Worthy Primary School or anywhere near Kings Worthy, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St John's Rooms And Chapel about 2 miles south, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Kings Worthy
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water cannot get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. It’s simpler to plan the work at Kings Worthy now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
