Grease Trap Cleaning in Titchfield Common
Need grease trap cleaning in Titchfield Common? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
About our grease trap cleaning in Titchfield Common
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Titchfield Common, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. Common call-outs are for foul odours from the grease trap and a routine grease trap service, across under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps.
In a smaller place like Titchfield Common, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Titchfield Common
Food Standards Agency records include about 12 pubs and bars in and around Titchfield Common, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Environmental health officers from Fareham council inspect food businesses in Titchfield Common. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
School kitchens, at schools like St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fareham Community Hospital about 1.3 miles north-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John or elsewhere in Titchfield Common, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens cannot afford a blocked drain. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They hold more than under-sink units but still need regular emptying.
Titchfield Common: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Titchfield Common?
Food hygiene inspections in Titchfield Common are carried out by Fareham council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you work overnight in Titchfield Common?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Is Titchfield Common in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Titchfield Common.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long and we will adjust the schedule.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How we price grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
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’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Tell us when your site near Titchfield Common is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
