About our grease trap cleaning in Avisford
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you have a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and a small trap that fills too quickly, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps onwards.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.

Questions from Avisford
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Avisford?
Kitchens in Avisford are inspected by Arun council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can a school kitchen in Avisford be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Avisford, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in Avisford?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Avisford included.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Get in touch and we’ll send you a fixed quote so you know the cost up front.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we will tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Avisford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What affects the quote in Avisford
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Avisford kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Avisford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Environmental health officers from Arun council inspect food businesses in Avisford. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. About 50 miles out from central London, Avisford is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Avisford may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Arundel and District Hospital, about 2.1 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Avisford. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Walberton and Binsted CofE Primary School or anywhere near Avisford, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
