Grease trap cleaning across Bouldnor

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Bouldnor

Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. If you’re dealing with foul odours from the grease trap and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can put it right.

Work in a small place like Bouldnor starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How we price grease trap cleaning

The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:

  • The size of the system
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • The times the site is available
  • How many systems or sites are involved

You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.

What to send for a quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:

  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Leave it or put it right?

Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Bouldnor rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What you get with us

  • Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
  • CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
  • Photo reports with every job
  • Full insurance on every job

Common problems we fix in Bouldnor

Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

  • A larger grease trap that needs emptying
  • A routine grease trap service
  • An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
  • Drains clogged with fat

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 5.2 miles north-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

What to look for in a quote

Questions to ask before booking

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Bouldnor

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses in Bouldnor and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bouldnor. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.

School kitchens, at schools like Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Hall kitchens near Church of St Swithin (old) or elsewhere in Bouldnor may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Part by part

School, care home and staff kitchens

Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. A regular interval suits them well.

Grease interceptors

Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.

What staff can safely do

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

When something else is needed

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
  • Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
  • Blockages further down the drainage network

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on in Bouldnor

  • Restaurants and takeaways
  • Pot wash sinks
  • Inline grease traps

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Bouldnor

Can the work in Bouldnor be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Bouldnor needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.

Do you work in villages like Bouldnor?

Yes. Bouldnor is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

What do you do with what you remove?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.

Will we have to shut during the visit?

Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.

Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?

We clean the trap, not the drain network. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we will tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

What happens on the day

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Somewhere as small as Bouldnor, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
  2. The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
  3. Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
  4. Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
  5. We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Clear loose items from the work area
