Grease trap cleaning in The Hummicks
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. If you’re dealing with drains clogged with fat and drains that gurgle and bubble, we can help.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens if it’s left?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. It’s simpler to plan the work at The Hummicks now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What we’re called out for in The Hummicks
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
What we are most often called out for:
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Beaulieu Village Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How the visit works
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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a village like The Hummicks are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Related advice
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Hot water only moves grease further down
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
The Hummicks kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens in The Hummicks and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Kitchens in The Hummicks get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near The Hummicks, such as a historic house like Beaulieu Palace House (about 0.9 miles north-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. Hall and church kitchens, near Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child or anywhere around The Hummicks, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Questions from The Hummicks
Which environmental health team covers The Hummicks?
That is New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in The Hummicks. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can the work in The Hummicks be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in The Hummicks keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Typically, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A large or very full trap takes longer, and we’ll tell you in advance.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you take the waste away?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It isn’t poured back down the drain at any point.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
