West Sussex · Grease trap cleaning
Wiggonholt grease trap cleaning
Professional grease trap cleaning in and around Wiggonholt, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Grease trap cleaning in Wiggonholt, done properly
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. Common call-outs are for an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, across under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Wiggonholt and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Common problems we fix in Wiggonholt
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Parham House is about 1.5 miles south), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote shows VAT
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Commercial kitchens in Wiggonholt
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Wiggonholt. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Kitchens in Wiggonholt get their food hygiene inspections from Horsham 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. About 42 miles out from central London, Wiggonholt is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Wiggonholt Church or elsewhere in Wiggonholt, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Wiggonholt questions
Can you get to a site in Wiggonholt?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Wiggonholt is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which council inspects kitchens in Wiggonholt?
The local authority for Wiggonholt is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Does the report say when we need you again?
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, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. More waste means faster filling.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so the kitchen isn’t disrupted.
