Grease trap cleaning in Wivelsfield Green, done properly
In Wivelsfield Green, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. We are often asked to deal with foul odours from the grease trap and an overdue grease trap, across school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes.
In a village or hamlet like Wivelsfield Green, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Inline grease traps

Questions from Wivelsfield Green
Who inspects food businesses in Wivelsfield Green?
In Wivelsfield Green, it’s Lewes council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can the work in Wivelsfield Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Wivelsfield Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills, then suggest a schedule.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Wivelsfield Green?
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Ote Hall Chapel or elsewhere in Wivelsfield Green, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Part by part
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. They gather grease and debris, so we clean them.
What affects the quote in Wivelsfield Green
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
