What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Grease trap cleaning in Hipley
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. Typical jobs include a routine grease trap service and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, on kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks.
Work in a small place like Hipley starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.

Grease trap cleaning in Hipley: local notes
It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hipley. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Alexandra Hospital (about 4 miles south-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. Hall and church kitchens, near Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere around Hipley, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
Hipley is about 4 miles west of Waterlooville, in Hampshire.

Why act early in Hipley
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hipley affects everyone who depends on it.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Hipley?
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Drains clogged with fat
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Gurgling from the sink waste
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Newtown Soberton Infant School or anywhere near Hipley, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Hipley: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Hipley?
Yes, Hipley is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hipley?
In Hipley, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we will plan the visit.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
Just the sinks that drain into the trap, and only while we work. Visits are booked outside your busiest hours where we can.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes

- School and care home kitchens
What happens on the day
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 we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hipley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
