About our grease trap cleaning in Alderholt
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. Typical jobs include a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a full, neglected grease trap, on kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks.
In a smaller place like Alderholt, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning does not reach.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we’re called out for in Alderholt
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets in the pipework or the drain.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like St James' Church of England First School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Grease trap cleaning in Alderholt: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Alderholt are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Alderholt, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Breamore House is about 4.5 miles north-east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Alderholt
Do you cover smaller places like Alderholt?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Alderholt included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Alderholt?
In Alderholt, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Every trap is different, so we price each one individually. You get a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo and we will confirm.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It is not poured back down the drain at any point.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. 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.

What affects the quote in Alderholt
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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 normally come back within one working day.

- Photo reports with every job
- We diagnose before we treat

The process
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, and that takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Your opening hours decide when we come to Alderholt, not ours.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
