How we handle grease trap cleaning in Emery Down
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Typical jobs include drains that gurgle and bubble and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, on under-sink grease traps, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes.
For a kitchen in or near Emery Down, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Emery Down
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. In a small place like Emery Down, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.

Grease trap cleaning around Emery Down
Look up Emery Down on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 21 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Emery Down, up to about a mile and a half out. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Food hygiene inspections in Emery Down are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ashurst Hospital (about 3.1 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. Where a church or community hall near Christ Church, or anywhere in Emery Down, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School or anywhere near Emery Down, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Emery Down: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Emery Down?
Yes. Emery Down is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Emery Down?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Emery Down doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we will confirm.
What do you do with the waste?
We remove all the waste we take out. It isn’t poured back down the drain, of course.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What happens if it’s left?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Emery Down rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Broken pipework below ground
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
