- A routine grease trap service
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- Sinks that drain slowly
When to call us in Damerham
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
Hall kitchens near Church of St George or elsewhere in Damerham may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of insurance
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Damerham
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. Typical jobs include gurgling drains in the kitchen and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, on pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes.
In a village or hamlet like Damerham, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids but they still need cleaning.

What happens if it’s left?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water cannot get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Planning a trip to Damerham ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
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 go through it with you.

FAQs for Damerham
Which council inspects kitchens in Damerham?
Food hygiene inspections in Damerham are carried out by New Forest council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you cover smaller places like Damerham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Damerham included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Damerham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
