In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Horseport
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. Common call-outs are for a small trap that fills too quickly and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, on kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps.
For a kitchen in or near Horseport, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Horseport
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Why act early in Horseport
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water will not drain away, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. In a place like Horseport, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Mention any increase in cooking
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Horseport
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways in Horseport and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Horseport. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Historic houses such as Breamore House (about 3 miles north) are part of the area around Horseport, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. Where a church or community hall near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Horseport, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Fordingbridge Infant School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

What affects the quote in Horseport
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
FAQs for Horseport
Will you come out to Horseport?
Yes. Horseport is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Horseport after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Horseport needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you have insurance?

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
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.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Most grease trap cleans take an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap including checking it drains. We plan the visit around your service.
Do you take the waste away?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so the trap works as it should.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks are not in use so the kitchen isn’t disrupted.
