Battramsley grease trap cleaning
Our technicians work in Battramsley on grease trap cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Sinks that drain slowly
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Battramsley
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. Typical jobs include washing-up water that won’t drain away and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, on under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Battramsley, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to investigate.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
Grease trap cleaning in Battramsley: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs and bars registered in Battramsley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Food hygiene inspections in Battramsley are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (about 1.5 miles south-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St John or anywhere around Battramsley, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Battramsley: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Battramsley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Battramsley keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who inspects food businesses in Battramsley?
In Battramsley, 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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we will come back with a fixed price.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Battramsley?
In Battramsley, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
What we are most often called out for:
- Drains clogged with fat
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- An overdue grease trap
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
School kitchens, at schools like William Gilpin Church of England Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
