Grease Trap Cleaning in Bramshaw
Grease trap cleaning in Bramshaw from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A routine grease trap service
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Drains clogged with fat
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Grease trap cleaning in Bramshaw, done properly
In Bramshaw, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you are dealing with an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, we can help.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Visits to a village like Bramshaw are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Bramshaw
In Bramshaw, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers 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.
Landford Manor, about 2.3 miles north, is one of the historic houses around Bramshaw; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Bramshaw, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. Tatchbury Mount Hospital, about 4.1 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Bramshaw; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so water flows freely.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Bramshaw: your questions answered
Can the work in Bramshaw be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Bramshaw can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Bramshaw?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bramshaw included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
A full trap can’t catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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 law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bramshaw
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
