When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Didling
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Didling, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed, so the kitchen keeps running. If you have a small trap that fills too quickly and gurgling from the sink waste, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Didling, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Visits to a village like Didling are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Didling questions
Will you come out to Didling?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Didling is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Didling after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Didling doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. You will know before the visit.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Didling
Kitchens in Didling get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. At about 48 miles from central London, Didling sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Didling (the nearest hospital is Midhurst Community Hospital, about 3.9 miles north-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Didling, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
Didling is about 6 miles south-east of Petersfield, in West Sussex.

What affects the quote in Didling
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Why deal with it now?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Didling is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

When to call us in Didling
Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
Historic houses such as Uppark (about 3.7 miles west) are part of the area around Didling, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.
