Wiston grease trap cleaning
Our technicians work in Wiston on emptying and cleaning of under-sink and inline grease traps in commercial kitchens. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
Grease trap cleaning in Wiston, done properly
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. If you’re dealing with a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, we can put it right, from kitchen waste pipes, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks onwards.
Work in a small place like Wiston starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Visits to a village like Wiston are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
How we price grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Wiston
Do you cover smaller places like Wiston?
Yes. Wiston is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Wiston?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is 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.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we will come back with a fixed price.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
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. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Why act early in Wiston

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
