About our grease trap cleaning in Rowner
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. The work covers inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks, and the jobs we see most are drains that gurgle and bubble and a slow-draining kitchen sink.
In a smaller place like Rowner, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning does not reach.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

FAQs for Rowner
Can school kitchens in Rowner be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 19 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Rowner, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can the work in Rowner be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Rowner can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What do you do with the waste?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff do not have to handle it once the clean is done.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
Leave it or put it right?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Sinks will not empty and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Around Rowner, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Grease trap cleaning in Rowner: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Rowner. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Environmental health officers from Gosport council inspect food businesses in Rowner. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Rowner (the nearest hospital is Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 2.3 miles south-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Bridgemary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Matthew's or elsewhere in Rowner, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Rowner.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- 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.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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.
