Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bedham
Every trap is different. 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 before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. If you’re dealing with drains that gurgle and bubble and foul odours from the grease trap, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Bedham, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Bedham
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A kitchen drain that smells
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Bedham, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

- Travel, parking and unloading

- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Bedham
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bedham?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bedham. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you work at weekends in Bedham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Bedham keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Send us details or a photo and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.

A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Bedham, such as a historic house like Old Place Manor (about 2.2 miles east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
