About our grease trap cleaning in Hale
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you have a full, neglected grease trap and washing-up water that won’t drain away, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Hale, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so water flows freely.
Why act early in Hale
In Hale, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem, often at a busy time. In a small place like Hale, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

What else we do in Hale
What affects the quote in Hale
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
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.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
Common questions in Hale
Can you work in Hale outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hale?
Food hygiene inspections in Hale 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 have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do you cover Hale?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Hale.
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.
The process
We turn up 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 before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. The timing of a visit to Hale is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Grease trap cleaning around Hale
Kitchens in Hale get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
For schools such as Hale Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Salisbury District Hospital (about 5.8 miles north-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Hale, such as a historic house like Breamore House (about 2.5 miles west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.
