Managing agents and facilities teams in Wishanger Common
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Grease trap cleaning in Wishanger Common
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. A regular clean keeps it healthy. The work covers pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps, and people most often call us about an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a larger grease trap that needs emptying.
Work in a small place like Wishanger Common starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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, alongside our reports.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Wishanger Common, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in Wishanger Common
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. In the trap, they cool and separate and the grease layer grows.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
Chase Community Hospital, about 3.6 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Wishanger Common; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Wishanger Common: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Wishanger Common?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wishanger Common. 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 Wishanger Common?
Yes. Wishanger Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
