How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. In a small place like Nettlecombe, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get 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, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
About our grease trap cleaning in Nettlecombe
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. If you’re dealing with sinks that drain slowly and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Nettlecombe, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease trap cleaning around Nettlecombe
In Nettlecombe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church or elsewhere in Nettlecombe, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (about 4.1 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
Nettlecombe is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Whether your site is in the middle of Nettlecombe or further out, grease trap cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Nettlecombe is one of 125 towns, villages and districts in the Isle of Wight where we work for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, roughly 16 miles from Nettlecombe.
All of PO38 is covered for grease trap cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Nearby, we also carry out grease trap cleaning in Southford (1 mile north-west), Bierley (1 mile west), Wroxall (2 miles north-east), Godshill (2 miles north) and Sandford (2 miles north).

Managing agents and facilities teams in Nettlecombe
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Nettlecombe and across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What affects the quote in Nettlecombe
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
Need a price for grease trap cleaning? Please ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
Nettlecombe: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Nettlecombe?
The local authority for Nettlecombe is Isle of Wight 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.
Can you work in Nettlecombe outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Nettlecombe keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each 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.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What happens if it’s left?
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. Cleaning it removes the cause. In a place like Nettlecombe, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Trading since 2009
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
