About our grease trap cleaning in Seaview
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens, and people most often call us about a slow-draining kitchen sink and a larger grease trap that needs emptying.
In a village or hamlet like Seaview, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common questions in Seaview
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Seaview?
Kitchens in Seaview are inspected by Isle of Wight council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you work overnight in Seaview?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do with the waste?
We take it away. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with once the clean is done.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Does the report say when we need you again?
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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Commercial kitchens in Seaview
The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Seaview. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Seaview. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Historic houses such as Nunwell House (about 3.3 miles south-west) are part of the area around Seaview, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Peter's Church or elsewhere in Seaview, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
Seaview is about 2 miles east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Seaview gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight, large and small. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 6 miles away.
Every address in PO34 is within our area for grease trap cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Whether your site is on High Street, Madeira Road and Church Street or a nearby road, we can help. If your site is just outside Seaview, we cover Nettlestone (1 mile south), Spring Vale (1 mile north-west), Pondwell (1 mile west), Puckpool (1 mile west) and Appley (2 miles west). We also work in nearby towns such as Newport (8 miles west), Cowes (9 miles west), Sandown (5 miles south-west), Shanklin (7 miles south-west), Ventnor (10 miles south-west) and East Cowes (8 miles west). Island and remote sites take a little more planning, so please mention your location when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen and check the seal on the lid.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Seaview.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload

How we price grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage down the line.
Why it’s worth doing now in Seaview
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction as part of a clean kitchen. Planning a trip to Seaview ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we’re called out for in Seaview
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Drains clogged with fat
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital about 5.3 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the price is fixed
- What insurance they carry
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
