Grease trap cleaning in Walhampton, done properly
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. Typical jobs include a kitchen drain that smells and a routine grease trap service, on under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks.
Somewhere as small as Walhampton, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Walhampton: your questions answered
Can you work in Walhampton outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Walhampton needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can school kitchens in Walhampton be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 9 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Walhampton. You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
What else we do in Walhampton
Managing agents and facilities teams in Walhampton
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Walhampton.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system

Leave it or put it right?
Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. With notice, the visit to Walhampton can be fitted around your bookings and events.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Walhampton
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 43 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 16 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Walhampton. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Walhampton. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near United Reform Church or elsewhere in Walhampton, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. If you serve passing trade near Lymington Town station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Lymington Church of England Infant School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
