Grease Trap Cleaning in Bosham
Grease trap cleaning for Bosham, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
About our grease trap cleaning in Bosham
Kitchens in Bosham use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up is not interrupted. If you are dealing with scheduled grease trap emptying and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Bosham, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Bosham?
For a kitchen in Bosham or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
What we are most often called out for:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A kitchen drain that smells
School kitchens, at schools like Bosham Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Questions from Bosham
Do you work in school kitchens around Bosham out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bosham. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which environmental health team covers Bosham?
That is Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bosham. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you work in Bosham?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Bosham included.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
While we work, those sinks are out of use. It takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and we time it to suit you.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Every trap is different, so we price each one individually. You get a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Commercial kitchens in Bosham
The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses across Bosham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Bosham are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Bosham (the nearest hospital is St Richard's Hospital, about 3.8 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Bosham, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Bosham, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Leave it or put it right?
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. With notice, the visit to Bosham can be fitted around your bookings and events.
