About our grease trap cleaning in Cocking
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. If you’re dealing with a full, neglected grease trap and gurgling drains in the kitchen, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Cocking, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Common problems we fix in Cocking
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
What we are most often called out for:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
- Gurgling from the sink waste
Cowdray House, about 2.6 miles north, is one of the historic houses around Cocking; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Cocking
In Cocking, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem and usually at the worst moment. In a place like Cocking, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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 make a difference.
Why book with us

- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Photo reports with every job
- Trading since 2009
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
