Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Skinner's Hill
In Skinner's Hill, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t 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 have an overdue grease trap and drains clogged with fat, we can put it right, from under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Skinner's Hill, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Skinner's Hill?
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
Look out for any of the following:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (about 2 miles south-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
Questions to ask before you book

Commercial kitchens in Skinner's Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Skinner's Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Skinner's Hill are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Where a church or community hall near All Saints' Church, or anywhere in Skinner's Hill, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. For schools such as Newchurch Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.

Why it’s worth doing now in Skinner's Hill
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. It’s simpler to plan the work at Skinner's Hill now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

Skinner's Hill questions
Will you come out to Skinner's Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Skinner's Hill after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Skinner's Hill needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Grease floats and solids sink.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Skinner's Hill.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
