How we handle grease trap cleaning in Calshot
In Calshot, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. Common call-outs are for gurgling drains in the kitchen and a kitchen drain that smells, on kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps.
Somewhere as small as Calshot, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
When your team notices a problem 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 can diagnose it and quote.
Common questions in Calshot
Who inspects food businesses in Calshot?
In Calshot, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Is Calshot within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Calshot is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills and we’ll advise on timing.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
While the trap is being cleaned, nothing can drain into it. We book the visit around your service to keep disruption down.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. We give you a fixed price, normally within one working day.
Common problems we fix in Calshot
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Even small amounts add up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Gurgling from the sink waste
If you look after a hall kitchen near St George or anywhere in Calshot, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Calshot kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Calshot and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Calshot. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Osborne House, about 4.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses around Calshot; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Coldeast (about 4.5 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. For a village or hamlet like Calshot, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
