Grease trap cleaning in Temple Valley, done properly
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you’re dealing with a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can help, from inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks onwards.
Somewhere as small as Temple Valley, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Temple Valley
Which council inspects kitchens in Temple Valley?
Kitchens in Temple Valley are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Can the work in Temple Valley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and we clear up before we go. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Temple Valley knowing what to expect.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Temple Valley
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
