About our grease trap cleaning in Rockbourne
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. We’re often asked to deal with a small trap that fills too quickly and drains clogged with fat, across under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps.
In a village or hamlet like Rockbourne, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Rockbourne before we set off.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Rockbourne
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Rockbourne. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Food hygiene inspections in Rockbourne 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.
Salisbury District Hospital, about 6 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Rockbourne; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. Hall kitchens near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Rockbourne may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Western Downland Church of England Aided Primary School or anywhere near Rockbourne, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Common questions in Rockbourne
Can you come to Rockbourne after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Rockbourne needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Rockbourne?
That is New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Rockbourne. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What do you do with the waste?
We take it away. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with once the clean is done.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Typically, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Bigger or overdue traps need more time, and we’ll tell you in advance.
Is Rockbourne in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Rockbourne included.
