About our grease trap cleaning in Timsbury
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and has to be emptied and cleaned. Common call-outs are for an overdue grease trap and drains that gurgle and bubble, across restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Timsbury, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What we are called out for in Timsbury
In Timsbury, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Hidden under a sink or in a floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Timsbury, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly and need regular cleaning.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.
How the visit works
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 photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Timsbury before we set off.
- 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.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Timsbury questions
Can you work in Timsbury outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Timsbury needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Timsbury?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Timsbury kitchens: local notes
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Timsbury, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Timsbury. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
School kitchens, at schools like Stanbridge Earls School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Timsbury, such as a historic house like Mottisfont Abbey (about 1.6 miles north-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.
