How we handle grease trap cleaning in Setley
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. If you have washing-up water that won’t drain away and a kitchen drain that smells, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Setley starts with agreeing a date and access.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Setley
If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A routine grease trap service
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Setley, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Setley can be planned properly.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
Commercial kitchens in Setley
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 6 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Setley. 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 Setley. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 2.9 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Setley; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
