Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wonersh
Kitchens in Wonersh use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. If you have a kitchen drain that smells and a full, neglected grease trap, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Wonersh, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Wonersh kitchens: local notes
Look up Wonersh on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Wonersh. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Kitchens in Wonersh get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Hall kitchens near Wonersh United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Wonersh may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Wonersh (the nearest hospital is St. Luke’s Hospital, about 2.8 miles north), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
Wonersh is about 4 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Whether your site is in the middle of Wonersh or further out, grease trap cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Wonersh is one of 395 towns, villages and districts in Surrey we cover for commercial clients.
Work in GU5 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

Local landmarks in Wonersh

The nearest railway station is Chilworth station, about 1.5 miles north-east. Other landmarks nearby include Surrey Police Museum (2.6 miles north-west) and Guildford Castle (2.9 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include St Martha's Hill and Silent Pool.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What we are called out for in Wonersh
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
Historic houses such as Chilworth Manor (about 1.7 miles north) are part of the area around Wonersh, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Inline grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Wonersh.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
More services for Wonersh
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Wonersh
Can a school kitchen in Wonersh be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wonersh. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you work in Wonersh outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold 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.
