Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Kingsmead
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. We are often asked to deal with drains clogged with fat and gurgling from the sink waste, on pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps.
In a village or hamlet like Kingsmead, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Leave it or put it right?
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. A planned visit to Kingsmead is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Common problems we fix in Kingsmead
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An overdue grease trap
- A routine grease trap service
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Drains clogged with fat
Knowle Hospital, about 3.1 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Kingsmead; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Kingsmead
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Kingsmead?
In Kingsmead, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you work in Kingsmead outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Kingsmead needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will quote so you know the cost up front.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every 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.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Grease trap cleaning around Kingsmead
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Kingsmead. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Kingsmead. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Swanmore College of Technology, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a village like Kingsmead are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Part by part
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
How we price grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
