Upper Enham kitchens: local notes
Look up Upper Enham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Upper Enham. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Kitchens in Upper Enham get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Where a church or community hall near Saint George, or anywhere in Upper Enham, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 2.6 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Upper Enham; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

About our grease trap cleaning in Upper Enham
For kitchens across Upper Enham, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you have a bad smell from the sinks or drains and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, we can help.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls until water can’t get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Upper Enham rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- In business since 2009
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- We diagnose before we treat
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Questions from Upper Enham
Do you work overnight in Upper Enham?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Upper Enham keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Upper Enham?

What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t 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.
What do you do with the waste?
We take it away. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with once the clean is done.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Upper Enham?
For a kitchen in Upper Enham or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A routine grease trap service
- An overdue grease trap
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School or anywhere near Upper Enham, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
