Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Stanswood
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Common call-outs are for a larger grease trap that needs emptying and scheduled grease trap emptying, across kitchen waste pipes, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps.
In a village or hamlet like Stanswood, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
FAQs for Stanswood
Which environmental health team covers Stanswood?
That’s New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stanswood. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you cover smaller places like Stanswood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We will recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
Stanswood kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Stanswood. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. In Stanswood, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. 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.
Historic houses such as Osborne House (about 4.8 miles south-east) are part of the area around Stanswood, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. If you look after a hall kitchen near St George or anywhere in Stanswood, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Coldeast, about 5.4 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Stanswood.

Other services in Stanswood
Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. More waste means faster filling.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Stanswood before we set off.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- 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.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Why act early in Stanswood
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. The lasting fix starts with the trap. With notice, the visit to Stanswood can be fitted around your bookings and events.
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 give you a fixed price before we start.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep strainers in every sink
The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
