How we handle grease trap cleaning in Hangersley
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. We’re often asked to deal with an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and sinks that drain slowly, across inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways.
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: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so water flows freely.
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen, and check the lid and seals.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. For a village or hamlet like Hangersley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
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 work begins.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Hangersley kitchens: local notes
Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Hangersley. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Hall and church kitchens, near St John the Baptist or anywhere around Hangersley, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. Avon Tyrrell House, about 4.1 miles south, is one of the historic houses around Hangersley; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Leonard's Hospital (about 5.4 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Around Hangersley
In Hangersley, that means kitchens and buildings near Ringwood School Academy and The London Tavern and the streets around them. A little further out are St Leonard's Hospital (5.4 miles south-west). Not far away are Linbrook Lake and Blashford Lakes.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Mention any increase in cooking
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
Hangersley questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hangersley?
The local authority for Hangersley is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Will you come out to Hangersley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hangersley included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
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.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will recommend a schedule once we’ve seen it.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we will say so so you can call a drainage contractor.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
