Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Grease trap cleaning in South Gorley, done properly
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens, and the jobs we see most are sinks that drain slowly and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease.
In a village or hamlet like South Gorley, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How we price grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in South Gorley
Food hygiene inspections in South Gorley are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of the Holy Ascension or anywhere around South Gorley, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hyde Church of England Primary School or anywhere near South Gorley, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in South Gorley before we set off.
- 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.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to investigate.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Questions from South Gorley
Which environmental health team covers South Gorley?
Food hygiene inspections in South Gorley are carried out by New Forest council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can a school kitchen in South Gorley be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of South Gorley, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It isn’t poured back down the drain at any point.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
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 together and easy to find.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Blockages further down the drainage network
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
Leave it or put it right?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. Somewhere as small as South Gorley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
