High Easter: your questions answered
Can you work in High Easter outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in High Easter doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you get to a site in High Easter?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, High Easter included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What do you do with the waste?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Get in touch and we’ll give you a fixed quote so you know the cost up front.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Grease trap cleaning in High Easter
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are a slow-draining kitchen sink and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying.
In a village or hamlet like High Easter, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When to call us in High Easter
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An overdue grease trap
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A kitchen drain that smells
Hall and church kitchens, near Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around High Easter, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. For a village or hamlet like High Easter, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Why act early in High Easter
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. 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. With notice, the visit to High Easter can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
