Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Watersfield
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. The work covers inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes, and common reasons people get in touch are an overdue grease trap and drains clogged with fat.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why it’s worth doing now in Watersfield
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. Cleaning it removes the cause. A planned visit to Watersfield is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
Grease trap cleaning around Watersfield
Watersfield, about 44 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Watersfield get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Arundel and District Hospital about 5.4 miles south, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Watersfield, such as a historic house like Bignor Roman Villa (about 1.8 miles west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. Where a church or community hall near The Parish Church of St Giles, or anywhere in Watersfield, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Watersfield: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Watersfield?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Watersfield. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Will you come out to Watersfield?
Yes. Watersfield is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. The timing of a visit to Watersfield is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
