About our grease trap cleaning in Brockenhurst
In Brockenhurst, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. We’re often asked to deal with grease setting in the kitchen pipework and a routine grease trap service, across pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
In a smaller place like Brockenhurst, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why deal with it now?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Brockenhurst
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and fill it from below.
Look out for any of the following:
- An overdue grease trap
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A routine grease trap service
For schools such as Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Brockenhurst
Do you work overnight in Brockenhurst?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Brockenhurst can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Brockenhurst?
Food hygiene inspections in Brockenhurst are carried out by New Forest council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean all the common types. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo and we will confirm.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
A full trap can’t catch any more grease. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
Can you come out in an emergency?
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.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Brockenhurst
There are about 18 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Brockenhurst, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Food hygiene inspections in Brockenhurst 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. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Saviour or anywhere around Brockenhurst, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (about 3.8 miles south), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap, and we clear up before we go. Tell us when your site near Brockenhurst is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- 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.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
