About our grease trap cleaning in Woolmer Hill
In Woolmer Hill, 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 an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, across under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Woolmer Hill?
For a kitchen in Woolmer Hill or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
What we are most often called out for:
- Drains clogged with fat
- A routine grease trap service
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Woolmer Hill (the nearest hospital is Haslemere and District Hospital, about 2 miles north-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

What else we do in Woolmer Hill
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Woolmer Hill before we set off.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Woolmer Hill kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs across Woolmer Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Woolmer Hill. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Camelsdale Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Hall kitchens near St Paul or elsewhere in Woolmer Hill may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Woolmer Hill
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.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval normally suits them.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
