How we handle grease trap cleaning in Chilgrove
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. 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 have gurgling drains in the kitchen and an overdue grease trap, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
Work in a small place like Chilgrove starts with agreeing a date and access.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

What else we do in Chilgrove
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so the kitchen is not disrupted.
What happens if it’s left?
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. The lasting fix starts with the trap. Somewhere as small as Chilgrove, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Chilgrove
Is Chilgrove within the area you cover?
Yes, Chilgrove is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Chilgrove?
Food hygiene inspections in Chilgrove are carried out by Chichester council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff do not have to handle it once the clean is done.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
