About our grease trap cleaning in Ansty
Kitchens in Ansty use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks are not needed so washing up is not interrupted. The work covers school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and a slow-draining kitchen sink.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so the trap works as it should.
Ansty kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Ansty, 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. Environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council inspect food businesses in Ansty. 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. Ansty is about 35 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Where a church or community hall near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Ansty, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; The Dene Hospital, about 2 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Ansty.

Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
School kitchens, at schools like Warden Park School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

More services for Ansty
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
Ansty: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Ansty?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Ansty keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Ansty?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you take the waste away?
We take it away. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we have finished.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we will give you a fixed quote.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along to set somewhere harder to reach. The lasting fix starts with the trap. Planning a trip to Ansty ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
