Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Norton Green
Kitchens in Norton Green use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks are not needed so washing up is not interrupted. Common call-outs are for grease setting in the kitchen pipework and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, across pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps.
Work in a small place like Norton Green starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Norton Green: your questions answered
Can a school kitchen in Norton Green be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Norton Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Is Norton Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Norton Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
Only briefly, and only the sinks that feed the trap. We plan the visit for a quieter time where we can.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What do you do with the waste?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we’ve finished.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Norton Green?
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Drains clogged with fat
- A routine grease trap service
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
Mottistone Manor, about 4.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses around Norton Green; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How we price grease trap cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Need a price for grease trap cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
Managing agents and facilities teams in Norton Green
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Norton Green.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
Grease trap cleaning around Norton Green
There are about 21 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Norton Green, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Food hygiene inspections in Norton Green are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Where a church or community hall near All Saints' Church, or anywhere in Norton Green, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 5.4 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Leave it or put it right?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction as part of a clean kitchen. It’s simpler to plan the work at Norton Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
