About our grease trap cleaning in Leagreen
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Leagreen, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are foul odours from the grease trap and a larger grease trap that needs emptying.
Work in a small place like Leagreen starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Grease trap cleaning around Leagreen
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 food manufacturers and packers within about 1.5 miles of central Leagreen. Food production can send a lot of fat, oil and grease towards the drains, so traps and interceptors need emptying on a schedule. Food hygiene inspections in Leagreen are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Leagreen may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 3.5 miles north-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, next to our reports.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

What else we do in Leagreen
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Leagreen.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Leagreen
Do you work overnight in Leagreen?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Leagreen does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Leagreen?
Food hygiene inspections in Leagreen are carried out by New Forest council. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you take the waste away?
We remove all the waste we take out. It is not poured back down the drain, of course.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we’ll send you a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Common problems we fix in Leagreen
For a kitchen in Leagreen or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An overdue grease trap
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A kitchen drain that smells
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Highcliffe Castle is about 4.5 miles west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
