About our grease trap cleaning in Chiddingly
In Chiddingly, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you have a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and drains that gurgle and bubble, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Chiddingly, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly and need regular cleaning.
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Commercial kitchens in Chiddingly
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Chiddingly, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Food hygiene inspections in Chiddingly are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned. Chiddingly, about 43 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Chiddingly Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Hellingly Hospital Railway, about 3.1 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Chiddingly. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Horselunges Manor is about 2.7 miles south-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

What’s near Chiddingly
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Six Bells Public House and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Berwick (Sussex) station, roughly 4.7 miles south.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
Questions from Chiddingly
Will you come out to Chiddingly?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Chiddingly is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Chiddingly?
Food hygiene inspections in Chiddingly are carried out by Wealden council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Chiddingly before we set off.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work

Related advice
Why act early in Chiddingly
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. If the system at a site near Chiddingly fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
