Grease trap cleaning in Poulner: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 12 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Poulner. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Poulner. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Leonard's Hospital (about 4.4 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Poulner, such as a historic house like Avon Tyrrell House (about 3.8 miles south), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. School kitchens, at schools like Poulner Infant School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

About our grease trap cleaning in Poulner
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Poulner, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks are not needed, so the kitchen keeps running. If you are dealing with gurgling from the sink waste and an overdue grease trap, we can help.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Poulner are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is typically the first sign.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
What affects the quote in Poulner
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. We plan the journey to Poulner and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Why deal with it now?
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. Even a site near Poulner that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Poulner questions
Can a school kitchen in Poulner be done out of term time?

Which council inspects kitchens in Poulner?

Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
