Hampshire · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Sarisbury, Hampshire
Grease trap cleaning in Sarisbury from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage later.
Grease trap cleaning in Sarisbury, done properly
In Sarisbury, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about a bad smell from the sinks or drains and sinks that drain slowly.
In a place like Sarisbury, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is normally the first sign.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Visits to a place like Sarisbury are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Sarisbury
Can a school kitchen in Sarisbury be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 11 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Sarisbury. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Sarisbury?
Yes. Sarisbury 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.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
Only briefly, and only the sinks that feed the trap. Visits are booked outside your busiest hours where we can.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA 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.
What we are called out for in Sarisbury
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
Coldeast, about less than half a mile south, is the nearest hospital to Sarisbury; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.
Before you book anyone

- What hours they’ll be on site
- Proof of insurance

Grease trap cleaning in Sarisbury: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 11 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Sarisbury. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Kitchens in Sarisbury get their food hygiene inspections from Fareham council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
For schools such as Sarisbury Church of England Junior School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays. If you run a kitchen near Swanwick station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.

Why deal with it now?
