Grease trap cleaning around Adur
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Adur, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Food hygiene inspections in Adur are the job of Adur council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Where a church or community hall near St Nicolas' Church, or anywhere in Adur, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Sir Robert Woodard Academy or anywhere near Adur, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Adur
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you’re dealing with an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and sinks that drain slowly, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Adur, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Adur
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
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 explain each part.

What affects the quote in Adur
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
Want a quote for grease trap cleaning? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Adur.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. Visits are planned between meals.
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Which grease traps does the service cover?

Will I get paperwork for my records?

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
Other services in Adur
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Adur?
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Even small amounts add up.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Drains clogged with fat
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Southlands Hospital about 1.7 miles south-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
