Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Angmering
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. Common call-outs are for an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and gurgling drains in the kitchen, on inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways.

- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Angmering
Which council inspects kitchens in Angmering?
Kitchens in Angmering are inspected by Arun council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you work in Angmering outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Angmering can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Typically, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Bigger or overdue traps need more time and we will say so when we quote.
Do you cover Angmering?
Yes. Our technicians work in Angmering, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Common problems we fix in Angmering
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
If you run a kitchen near Angmering station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.

Leave it or put it right?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. A planned visit to Angmering fits your hours; an emergency does not.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Angmering kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Angmering, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Arun council inspect food businesses in Angmering. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as St Wilfrids Catholic Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Angmering, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
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.
