How we handle grease trap cleaning in Woodgreen
In Woodgreen, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t needed. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you have a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and an interceptor full of grease and solids, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens onwards.
Somewhere as small as Woodgreen, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Questions from Woodgreen
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Woodgreen?
In Woodgreen, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you come to Woodgreen after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Woodgreen needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover Woodgreen?
Yes. We work in Woodgreen and across Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take it away. Your staff don’t have to handle it once the clean is done.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the quote in Woodgreen
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly and need regular cleaning.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. A planned visit to Woodgreen is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Woodgreen
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in Woodgreen and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. In Woodgreen, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Boniface or elsewhere in Woodgreen, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Breamore Church of England Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Breamore House is about 1.5 miles north-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. For a village or hamlet like Woodgreen, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
