- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A routine grease trap service
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. In a small place like Colworth, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
About our grease trap cleaning in Colworth
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you have gurgling drains in the kitchen and a slow-draining kitchen sink, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
Work in a small place like Colworth starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Colworth: your questions answered
Can you come to Colworth after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Colworth needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in school kitchens around Colworth out of term?
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 Colworth, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re 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.
Do you take the waste away?
We take it away. Your staff do not have to handle it after we have finished.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Colworth
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Colworth. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in Colworth get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Colworth, such as a historic house like Goodwood House (about 4 miles north-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Colworth (the nearest hospital is Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, about 2.2 miles south-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Bartons Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Colworth and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why it’s worth doing now in Colworth
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Colworth is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Mention any increase in cooking
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to investigate.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage typically prevents a blockage later.

Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens cannot afford a blocked drain. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
