Grease Trap Cleaning in Dormans Park
Grease trap cleaning for commercial sites in Dormans Park and across West Sussex. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A routine grease trap service
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Grease trap cleaning in Dormans Park, done properly
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. If you have an interceptor full of grease and solids and gurgling drains in the kitchen, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Dormans Park, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Visits to a village like Dormans Park are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an 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.

Common questions in Dormans Park
Do you work at weekends in Dormans Park?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Dormans Park can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Dormans Park within the area you cover?
Yes. Dormans Park is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Dormans Park?
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Drains clogged with fat
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Victoria Hospital about 1 mile south-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the price is fixed
