- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A site near Ashley Heath typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- 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.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Ashley Heath: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Ashley Heath?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ashley Heath is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Ashley Heath?
Kitchens in Ashley Heath are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Most grease trap cleans take a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor including checking it drains. We plan the visit around your service.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
Why act early in Ashley Heath
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
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 work begins.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Ashley Heath
Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Ashley Heath. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints or elsewhere in Ashley Heath, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Ashley Heath (the nearest hospital is St Leonard's Hospital, about 1.6 miles south-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
