West Sussex · Grease trap cleaning
Aldwick grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning for commercial sites in Aldwick and across West Sussex. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A routine grease trap service
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A kitchen drain that smells
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A site near Aldwick usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Grease trap cleaning in Aldwick, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a small trap that fills too quickly.
Work in a smaller place like Aldwick is planned around your opening hours.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Aldwick
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Aldwick questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Aldwick?
In Aldwick, it’s Arun council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you get to a site in Aldwick?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Aldwick included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Every trap is different, so we price each one individually. You get a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Grease trap cleaning in Aldwick: local notes
Look up Aldwick on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 53 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 26 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Aldwick. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Environmental health officers from Arun council inspect food businesses in Aldwick. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Nyewood CofE Junior School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, about 1.5 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Aldwick; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

- Blockages further down the drainage network

- Broken pipework below ground

How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.
When to call us in Aldwick
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An overdue grease trap
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A routine grease trap service
Hall and church kitchens, near St Richard’s Church or anywhere around Aldwick, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
