Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ashley
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. The work covers school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about gurgling drains in the kitchen and washing-up water that won’t drain away.
In a place like Ashley, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is typically the first sign.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Ashley
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
FAQs for Ashley
Which environmental health team covers Ashley?
In Ashley, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can a school kitchen in Ashley be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 12 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Ashley. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. Where the problem is further down the drain, we will say so and suggest a drainage contractor.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Let us know what’s fitted and we will plan around it.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will quote before any work starts.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Ashley and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Grease trap cleaning in Ashley: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 14 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Ashley. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. In Ashley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. 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.
Hall kitchens near St. Peter's Church or elsewhere in Ashley may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. School kitchens, at schools like Ashley Junior School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

How the visit works

The work on site takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Ashley can typically be finished without a second trip.

- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.

Leave it or put it right?
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. Even a site near Ashley that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
