Lyde Green: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Lyde Green?
Kitchens in Lyde Green are inspected by Hart council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you work in villages like Lyde Green?
Yes, Lyde Green is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
For the length of the clean, yes. It takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap, and we time it to suit you.
Do you take the waste away?
We remove all the waste we take out. It isn’t poured back down the drain at any point.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the 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 for kitchens and businesses in Lyde Green
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you’re dealing with a slow-draining kitchen sink and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Lyde Green, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:

- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we allow for that.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to Lyde Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
