Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Ower
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens, and the jobs we see most are an overdue grease trap and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What else we do in Ower
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ower
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Ower can be planned properly.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly but they still need cleaning.
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so water flows freely.
Common questions in Ower
Can you get to a site in Ower?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ower included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Ower be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Ower does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we will plan around it.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Broken pipework below ground
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
Leave it or put it right?
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. Cleaning it removes the cause. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Ower is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- One number for every site across the South East and London
Grease trap cleaning in Ower: local notes
There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Ower, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. In Ower, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council.
