Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cadnam
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. The work covers under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways, and people most often call us about a routine grease trap service and a small trap that fills too quickly.
Somewhere as small as Cadnam, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so the trap works as it should.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Cadnam.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote

Cadnam: your questions answered
Can the work in Cadnam be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cadnam?
In Cadnam, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Grease trap cleaning in Cadnam: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Cadnam and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Cadnam. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Landford Manor is about 4.6 miles north-west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bartley Church of England Junior School or anywhere near Cadnam, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Cadnam, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Cadnam

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
