Questions from Hordle
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hordle?
In Hordle, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can the work in Hordle be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, and you can expect it to take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We will confirm when we quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Tell us what you have and we’ll plan around it.
What do you do with the waste?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff do not have to handle it after we’ve finished.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Hordle
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. The work covers under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways, and people most often call us about an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and drains clogged with fat.
Around a place like Hordle, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hordle
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. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, 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:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.

Honest limits

- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease trap cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Hordle, so let us know how to reach it.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we allow for that.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
