Why it’s worth doing now in Ashurst
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

About our grease trap cleaning in Ashurst
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. We are often asked to deal with a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and drains that gurgle and bubble, on school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps.
Work in a small place like Ashurst starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Somewhere as small as Ashurst, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What we are called out for in Ashurst
A busy kitchen in Ashurst, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. Traps sized for lighter use can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A kitchen drain that smells
School kitchens, at schools like Ashurst CofE Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Ashurst
Which council inspects kitchens in Ashurst?
Kitchens in Ashurst are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you work in villages like Ashurst?
Yes, Ashurst is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take it away. Your staff do not have to handle it once the clean is done.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We’ll recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
