Grease trap cleaning in Rew Street
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. Typical jobs include grease setting in the kitchen pipework and scheduled grease trap emptying, on pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes.
In a village or hamlet like Rew Street, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Keep access to the trap clear
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
Why deal with it now?
For a kitchen in Rew Street, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency and typically at the worst moment. A planned visit to Rew Street is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

- Each visit written up, with pictures
- In business since 2009

Grease trap cleaning in Rew Street: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in and around Rew Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Rew Street. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Osborne House, about 2.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses around Rew Street; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Rew Street (the nearest hospital is St Mary's Hospital, about 2.8 miles south-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Rew Street, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Inline grease traps

What your team can do, and what needs us
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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
When it’s something else
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Restaurants and takeaways

Common questions in Rew Street
Is Rew Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Rew Street is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Rew Street?
In Rew Street, it’s Isle of Wight council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we will confirm.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Rew Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
