Grease trap cleaning in New Forest
We clean grease traps for kitchens in New Forest, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are gurgling from the sink waste and an overdue grease trap.
Work in a small place like New Forest starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from New Forest
Do you work at weekends in New Forest?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in New Forest keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in villages like New Forest?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and New Forest is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

Part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval normally suits them.
School, care home and staff kitchens
School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or after lunch service.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Grease trap cleaning around New Forest
In New Forest, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in New Forest, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
