- A kitchen drain that smells
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
About our grease trap cleaning in South Hayling
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. If you’re dealing with grease setting in the kitchen pipework and gurgling drains in the kitchen, we can help.
For a kitchen near South Hayling, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Visits to a place like South Hayling are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- 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.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. Visits are planned between meals.
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.

What else we do in South Hayling
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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, alongside our reports.
What happens if it’s left?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls until water can’t get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. A quieter site near South Hayling still needs its system looked after.
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 work begins.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Questions from South Hayling
Can you get to a site in South Hayling?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who inspects food businesses in South Hayling?
Kitchens in South Hayling are inspected by Havant council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean all the common types. If you’re not sure what you have, send us a photo and we will confirm.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we have finished.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
South Hayling kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central South Hayling. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Havant council inspect food businesses in South Hayling. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Historic houses such as Warblington Castle (about 3.9 miles north) are part of the area around South Hayling, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. For schools such as Mengham Junior School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in South Hayling, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
