About our grease trap cleaning in Bognor Regis
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you are dealing with a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, we can help, from pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
Big kitchens in Bognor Regis can’t close for a day, so deep cleans are done overnight or in phases.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. We will ask where we can park in Bognor Regis and how to get equipment to the system, as those shape the visit.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen and check the seal on the lid.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Why deal with it now?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water will not drain away and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. A gap in the records is hard to explain after an incident, so it pays to keep the work current.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- In business since 2009
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Mention any increase in cooking
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
