Grease trap cleaning in Mead End
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you have a bad smell from the sinks or drains and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Mead End, 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Visits to a village like Mead End are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
What affects the quote in Mead End
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Mead End: your questions answered
Is Mead End within the area you cover?
Yes, Mead End is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Mead End after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Mead End keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease set hard in the drain run
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Mead End kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Mead End and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Food hygiene inspections in Mead End are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a kitchen near Sway station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 3.8 miles east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. For schools such as Tiptoe Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. Visits are planned between meals.
