Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cocking Causeway
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Cocking Causeway, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service so washing up isn’t interrupted. Common call-outs are for a larger grease trap that needs emptying and sinks that drain slowly, on school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps.
Somewhere as small as Cocking Causeway, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. It’s simpler to plan the work at Cocking Causeway now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email 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.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Common questions in Cocking Causeway
Which council inspects kitchens in Cocking Causeway?
The local authority for Cocking Causeway is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you clean school kitchens in Cocking Causeway in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Cocking Causeway, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
What do you do with the waste?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we’ve finished.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Commercial kitchens in Cocking Causeway

Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying.
