About our grease trap cleaning in Billingshurst
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. If you have a larger grease trap that needs emptying and drains that gurgle and bubble, we can help.
Work in a smaller place like Billingshurst is planned around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.

Questions from Billingshurst
Is Billingshurst within the area you cover?
Yes. Billingshurst is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Billingshurst be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Billingshurst does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often and we will adjust the schedule.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Common problems we fix in Billingshurst
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Drains clogged with fat
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A routine grease trap service
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Billingshurst Unitarian Chapel or elsewhere in Billingshurst, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How they set the interval to the next visit
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes

How it works
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. 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. For a place like Billingshurst, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
