Grease trap cleaning in Dibden Purlieu, done properly
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. Typical jobs include gurgling drains in the kitchen and a small trap that fills too quickly, across pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps.
In a place like Dibden Purlieu, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: 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 the area is cleaned down before we leave. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Dibden Purlieu.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Common questions in Dibden Purlieu
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Dibden Purlieu?
That’s New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Dibden Purlieu. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you clean school kitchens in Dibden Purlieu in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 10 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Dibden Purlieu. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you take the waste away?
We remove all the waste we take out. It isn’t poured back down the drain at any point.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Send us details or a photo and we will come back with a fixed price.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
When to call us in Dibden Purlieu
If a trap isn’t emptied, grease passes straight through. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A full, neglected grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
Historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House (about 2.9 miles south-west) are part of the area around Dibden Purlieu, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

What affects the quote in Dibden Purlieu
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dibden Purlieu
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Fully insured
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Dibden Purlieu kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Dibden Purlieu. 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 Dibden Purlieu. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Wildground Infant School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you look after a hall kitchen near St. Andrew's Church and Centre or anywhere in Dibden Purlieu, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
