About our grease trap cleaning in Puckpool
In Puckpool, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. We empty, clean and check the trap, and the waste is taken away. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you’re dealing with a full, neglected grease trap and a routine grease trap service, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Puckpool, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Why deal with it now?
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. If the system at a site near Puckpool fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What affects the quote in Puckpool
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Puckpool
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Puckpool?
The local authority for Puckpool is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you work at weekends in Puckpool?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Puckpool keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills and we’ll advise on timing.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Grease trap cleaning in Puckpool: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 17 pubs, bars and clubs and about 9 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Puckpool. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Food hygiene inspections in Puckpool are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Historic houses such as Nunwell House (about 3.1 miles south) are part of the area around Puckpool, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 4.7 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Puckpool; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. Hall and church kitchens, near St John's Church or anywhere around Puckpool, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Puckpool.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

How the job changes from site to site
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap will not fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
