Grease trap cleaning in Barns Green
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Barns Green, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service so washing up isn’t interrupted. The work covers pot wash sinks, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and common reasons people get in touch are an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease.
Work in a small place like Barns Green starts with agreeing a date and access.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Barns Green knowing what to expect.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Barns Green?
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and fill it from below.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Drains clogged with fat
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Barns Green Primary School or anywhere near Barns Green, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Questions from Barns Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Barns Green?
That’s Horsham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Barns Green. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
There’s no single answer. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Grease trap cleaning around Barns Green
We cover Barns Green, about 35 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Food hygiene inspections in Barns Green are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Horsham Hospital (about 4 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks aren’t in use so you do not lose trade.
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we allow for that.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
