About grease trap cleaning in West Sussex

We clean grease traps for kitchens in West Sussex, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service so washing up is not interrupted. Common call-outs are for an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and drains that gurgle and bubble, on inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks.

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap.

We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
We open the trap and look at its condition.
We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.

How we quote

The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Grease trap cleaning across West Sussex: local notes

From Crawley, Horsham and Worthing to its smaller places, West Sussex has commercial kitchens of every size. All of them collect grease behind equipment, on high surfaces and in the drains.

We work across London and the South East, and West Sussex is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in West Sussex. Coastal kitchens in West Sussex often have their busiest months in the summer, so cleaning is often best booked before or after the peak season.

Crawley: Where a church or community hall near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, or anywhere in Crawley, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. For busy kitchens close to Crawley station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing.

Leave it or put it right?

Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do.

For landlords and multi-site operators

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

Common problems we fix in West Sussex

A busy kitchen in West Sussex, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. Traps sized for lighter use can fill very quickly when trade picks up.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

A full, neglected grease trap
Sinks that drain slowly
A routine grease trap service
A kitchen drain that smells

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

When it’s something else

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:

Grease set hard in the drain run
Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property

Questions from West Sussex

Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?

An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. There it hardens on the pipe walls and causes blockages. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.

What about areas you can’t get to?

They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.

What types of grease trap do you clean?

Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan around it.

Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?

While the trap is being cleaned, nothing can drain into it. We book the visit around your service to keep disruption down.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.

How often should a grease trap be cleaned?

It varies. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills and we will advise on timing.

How much notice should we give?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
