Grease trap cleaning in Picket Twenty, done properly
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you’re dealing with a kitchen drain that smells and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, we can help, from school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
Somewhere as small as Picket Twenty, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

FAQs for Picket Twenty
Can you get to a site in Picket Twenty?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Picket Twenty is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Picket Twenty?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Picket Twenty needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
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.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
School, care home and staff kitchens
School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or between meal services.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Grease trap cleaning around Picket Twenty
There are about 52 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 20 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Picket Twenty, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. In Picket Twenty, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Picket Twenty (the nearest hospital is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 1.9 miles west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A full, neglected grease trap
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
If you look after a hall kitchen near United Reformed Church or anywhere in Picket Twenty, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
