Grease trap cleaning in Crow
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. If you are dealing with washing-up water that won’t drain away and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Crow starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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.

Questions from Crow
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Crow?
Food hygiene inspections in Crow are carried out by New Forest council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can a school kitchen in Crow be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Crow, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Each trap is a little different, but a clean generally takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. You will know before the visit.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we will tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Crow
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An overdue grease trap
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Crow, such as a historic house like Avon Tyrrell House (about 2.4 miles south-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. Visits are planned between meals.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Blockages further down the drainage network
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Crow.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why act early in Crow
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls until water can’t get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. A fault that closes a site in a village like Crow affects everyone who depends on it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What you get with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Crow kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Crow 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. Food hygiene inspections in Crow are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Ringwood Junior School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. St Leonard's Hospital, about 4.3 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Crow; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
