In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Frostlane
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. If you are dealing with gurgling drains in the kitchen and an overdue grease trap, we can help, from inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Different parts, different methods
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 cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.
What else we do in Frostlane
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Frostlane
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Frostlane?
Food hygiene inspections in Frostlane are carried out by New Forest council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you work in villages like Frostlane?
Yes. Frostlane 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 deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work

Why it’s worth doing now in Frostlane
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Somewhere as small as Frostlane, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Frostlane
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
If you look after a hall kitchen near St Anne or anywhere in Frostlane, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What insurance they carry
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How VAT is shown on the quote
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Visits to a village like Frostlane are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

Grease trap cleaning in Frostlane: local notes
Look up Frostlane on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 16 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 takeaways across Frostlane 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. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Frostlane. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
School kitchens, at schools like Waterside Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Frostlane (the nearest hospital is Royal South Hants Hospital, about 4 miles north), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
