Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hightown
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. The work covers inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks, and the jobs we see most are a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and a bad smell from the sinks or drains.
In a village or hamlet like Hightown, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Broken pipework below ground
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Hightown knowing what to expect.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Hightown kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hightown. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Hightown. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Avon Tyrrell House, about 3 miles south, is one of the historic houses around Hightown; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. Hall and church kitchens, near St John the Baptist or anywhere around Hightown, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

When to call us in Hightown
In Hightown, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Leonard's Hospital (about 4.3 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

FAQs for Hightown
Do you work in school kitchens around Hightown out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hightown. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will you come out to Hightown?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
How much notice do you need?
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
It depends where the blockage is. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
What do you do with the waste?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff do not have to handle it once the clean is done.
Why deal with it now?
For a kitchen in Hightown, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem, often at a busy time. If the system at a site near Hightown fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
