Hampshire · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Blackmoor, Hampshire
For grease trap cleaning in Blackmoor, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A routine grease trap service
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Never pour used oil down the sink
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Blackmoor
Kitchens in Blackmoor use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks, and the jobs we see most are a routine grease trap service and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common questions in Blackmoor
Is Blackmoor within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Blackmoor is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work overnight in Blackmoor?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Blackmoor needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
A full trap can’t catch any more grease. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
How we price grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Blackmoor.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Blackmoor
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Blackmoor kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Blackmoor. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Kitchens in Blackmoor get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chase Community Hospital about 1.4 miles north-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Hall and church kitchens, near St Matthew's Church or anywhere around Blackmoor, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

When it’s something else
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

- Restaurants and takeaways

- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
Why it’s worth doing now in Blackmoor
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. In a small place like Blackmoor, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
