What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Parkhurst.
- 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.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.

Advice
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Parkhurst
In Parkhurst, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you have scheduled grease trap emptying and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Parkhurst, 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.
A written report with photos follows each 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.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.

Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Food hygiene inspections in Parkhurst are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What we are called out for in Parkhurst
A busy kitchen in Parkhurst, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Carisbrooke Castle is about 2.1 miles south), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
Questions to ask before you book

Parkhurst questions
Do you work in villages like Parkhurst?
Yes. Parkhurst is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Parkhurst outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
It depends where the blockage is. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Parkhurst
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
