Grease trap cleaning in Pamber End
Kitchens in Pamber End use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers pot wash sinks, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a larger grease trap that needs emptying.
For a kitchen in or near Pamber End, 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 sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers

When to call us in Pamber End
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Even small amounts add up.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (The Vyne is about 2 miles south-east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. They gather grease and debris, so we clean them.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly and need regular cleaning.
Questions from Pamber End
Do you work at weekends in Pamber End?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Pamber End?
Kitchens in Pamber End are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
The process
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 an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. For a village or hamlet like Pamber End, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area

Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Kitchens in Pamber End get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council.
