What affects the quote in Blackfield
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Blackfield
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. The work covers under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen drain that smells and drains that gurgle and bubble.
Around a place like Blackfield, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Blackfield: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Blackfield?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can school kitchens in Blackfield be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Blackfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

What else we do in Blackfield
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, 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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Commercial kitchens in Blackfield
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Blackfield. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Kitchens in Blackfield get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Beaulieu Palace House, about 3.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses around Blackfield; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Blackfield Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Coldeast (about 5.2 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. A regular interval suits them well.
Why deal with it now?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. It just shifts the grease further along to set somewhere harder to reach. The lasting fix starts with the trap. A quieter site near Blackfield still needs its system looked after.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. For a place like Blackfield, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
