How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A site near East Worthing normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in East Worthing
Which environmental health team covers East Worthing?
The local authority for East Worthing is Worthing 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 cover smaller places like East Worthing?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and East Worthing is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean all the common types. If you’re not sure what you have, send us a photo and we will confirm.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
While the trap is being cleaned, nothing can drain into it. That’s why we time visits around service to keep disruption down.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What affects the quote in East Worthing
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Broken pipework below ground
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps

Commercial kitchens in East Worthing
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 food manufacturers and packers within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of East Worthing. For food producers, the grease trap schedule should follow the volume going through it. In East Worthing, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Worthing council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St George's Church or elsewhere in East Worthing, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near East Worthing (the nearest hospital is Worthing Hospital, about 0.7 miles north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Why it’s worth doing now in East Worthing
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Common problems we fix in East Worthing
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A routine grease trap service
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Lyndhurst Infant School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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 can quote for the whole system.
