Lee-on-the-Solent questions
Is Lee-on-the-Solent within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Lee-on-the-Solent?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Lee-on-the-Solent keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.

For a kitchen near Lee-on-the-Solent, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Lee-on-the-Solent
The FSA’s data shows about 14 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in Lee-on-the-Solent and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. It’s Gosport council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lee-on-the-Solent. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Faith or anywhere in Lee-on-the-Solent, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Lee-on-the-Solent, such as a historic house like Osborne House (about 4.9 miles south-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Lee-on-the-Solent (the nearest hospital is Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 2.1 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Keep access to the trap clear
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lee-on-the-Solent
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction as part of a clean kitchen. A site near Lee-on-the-Solent that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Your opening hours decide when we come to Lee-on-the-Solent, not ours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens

Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
