Grease trap cleaning in Bramber
Kitchens in Bramber 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 the kitchen keeps running. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen drain that smells and drains that gurgle and bubble.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Bramber can be planned properly.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area

How we price grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Questions from Bramber
Do you clean school kitchens in Bramber in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bramber. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work in villages like Bramber?
Yes, Bramber is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We’ll recommend a schedule once we’ve seen it.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
The sinks that drain into the trap cannot be used while it’s open. That is why we time visits around service so the kitchen isn’t held up.
Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval usually suits them.
Common problems we fix in Bramber
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Drains clogged with fat
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
Hall and church kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Bramber, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Why it’s worth doing now in Bramber
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Bramber rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- In business since 2009

Grease trap cleaning around Bramber
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in Bramber and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. In Bramber, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
