When something else is needed
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
About our grease trap cleaning in Norleywood
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. Common call-outs are for a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, across school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways.
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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.

Norleywood kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Norleywood 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. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or anywhere in Norleywood, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Norleywood, such as a historic house like Beaulieu Palace House (about 3.5 miles north-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. For schools such as South Baddesley Church of England Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Never pour used oil down the sink
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Norleywood
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In a small place like Norleywood, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
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, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Questions from Norleywood
Can you work in Norleywood outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Norleywood keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can you get to a site in Norleywood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
