How we handle grease trap cleaning in Netley Marsh
In Netley Marsh, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. The work covers school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks, and people most often call us about an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and drains that gurgle and bubble.
For a kitchen in or near Netley Marsh, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common questions in Netley Marsh
Can you come to Netley Marsh after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can school kitchens in Netley Marsh be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 14 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Netley Marsh, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
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 without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What do you do with the waste?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site after the visit.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. It’s simpler to plan the work at Netley Marsh now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What else we do in Netley Marsh
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Netley Marsh.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Food hygiene inspections in Netley Marsh are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. With more capacity, they fill more slowly, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Netley Marsh?
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A full, neglected grease trap
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Netley Marsh Church of England Infant School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
