Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in New Milton
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. If you’re dealing with a routine grease trap service and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
In a smaller place like New Milton, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.

Questions from New Milton
Do you cover smaller places like New Milton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and New Milton is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which council inspects kitchens in New Milton?
Food hygiene inspections in New Milton 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 the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
For the length of the clean, yes. It takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap, and we time it to suit you.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
There’s no single answer. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills, then suggest a schedule.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Why it’s worth doing now in New Milton
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. When a site near New Milton shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. In a place like New Milton, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Hot water only moves grease further down
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
Common problems we fix in New Milton
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
For busy kitchens close to New Milton station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing.

Commercial kitchens in New Milton
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 12 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs across New Milton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. In New Milton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as The Arnewood School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you look after a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Magdalene or anywhere in New Milton, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
