Grease trap cleaning in Widley, done properly
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. Common call-outs are for a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, across under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps.
Work in a small place like Widley starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The sign-off is always in writing: 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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

Widley questions
Can school kitchens in Widley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 15 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Widley. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is Widley within the area you cover?
Yes, Widley is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. There it hardens on the pipe walls until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. We’ll confirm when we quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
How we price grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Widley run smoothly.
- 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.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
Grease trap cleaning around Widley
The FSA’s data shows about 12 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs registered in and around Widley, 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. Food hygiene inspections in Widley are the job of Havant council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Historic houses such as Warblington Castle (about 3.7 miles east) are part of the area around Widley, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Purbrook Park School or anywhere near Widley, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Queen Alexandra Hospital, about 1 mile south-west, is the nearest hospital to Widley.

Why act early in Widley
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. In a small place like Widley, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
