In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Newchurch
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and gurgling from the sink waste.
In a village or hamlet like Newchurch, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Newchurch kitchens: local notes
Look up Newchurch on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 food manufacturers and packers across Newchurch and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where food is made in quantity, grease traps fill faster and need a tighter schedule. Kitchens in Newchurch get their food hygiene inspections 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.
Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 2.4 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Newchurch; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. Historic houses such as Haseley Manor (about 0.8 miles west) are part of the area around Newchurch, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. If you look after a hall kitchen near All Saints' Church or anywhere in Newchurch, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage typically prevents a blockage later.
Common questions in Newchurch
Can you come to Newchurch after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Newchurch can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Newchurch?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Newchurch included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
As a guide, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A large or very full trap takes longer and we’ll say so when we quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Somewhere as small as Newchurch, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system

How we price grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
