Grease trap cleaning in Welborne, done properly
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. The work covers school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are foul odours from the grease trap and a small trap that fills too quickly.
In a village or hamlet like Welborne, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:

- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Sinks that drain slowly
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Francis or elsewhere in Welborne, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we allow for that.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Somewhere as small as Welborne, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading

Grease trap cleaning around Welborne
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Welborne and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. It’s Fareham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Welborne. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as The Henry Cort Community College, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Knowle Hospital, about 0.5 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Welborne.

Welborne questions
Do you cover smaller places like Welborne?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Welborne included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can school kitchens in Welborne be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Welborne. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Get in touch and we’ll send you a fixed quote before any work starts.
