Grease trap cleaning in Ibsley, done properly
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Ibsley, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. We’re often asked to deal with a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and washing-up water that won’t drain away, on kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps.
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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Ibsley: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Ibsley?
The local authority for Ibsley is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Will you come out to Ibsley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ibsley included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you take the waste away?
We take it away. Your staff do not have to handle it once the clean is done.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often, and we can shorten it.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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 on a regular cycle.
Ibsley kitchens: local notes
In Ibsley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Ibsley (the nearest hospital is St Leonard's Hospital, about 5.6 miles south-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Martins or elsewhere in Ibsley, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. For a village or hamlet like Ibsley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Broken pipework below ground
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Never pour used oil down the sink
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
