About our grease trap cleaning in Warsash
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. Typical jobs include a routine grease trap service and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, on pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
In a place like Warsash, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is usually the first sign.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Questions from Warsash
Will you come out to Warsash?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Warsash included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in school kitchens in Warsash during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Warsash. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Tell us what you have and we’ll plan around it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. There it hardens on the pipe walls and causes blockages. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Your opening hours decide when we come to Warsash, not ours.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so you do not lose trade.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
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 we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. That only moves the grease further down the pipe, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. Around Warsash, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Grease trap cleaning in Warsash: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Warsash. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Food hygiene inspections in Warsash are the job of Fareham council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
School kitchens, at schools like Hook-With-Warsash Church of England Academy for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Coldeast, about 0.9 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Warsash. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Warsash, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
