Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ebernoe
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you are dealing with foul odours from the grease trap and drains that gurgle and bubble, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Ebernoe starts with agreeing a date and access.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Ebernoe.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What we’re called out for in Ebernoe
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Small amounts soon build up.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- An overdue grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
If you look after a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church or anywhere in Ebernoe, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Grease trap cleaning around Ebernoe
Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Ebernoe. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned. We cover Ebernoe, about 39 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Haslemere and District Hospital about 5.3 miles north-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Petworth House is about 3.7 miles south), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
Common questions in Ebernoe
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ebernoe?
In Ebernoe, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can you work in Ebernoe outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Ebernoe can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It varies. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills, then suggest a schedule.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What affects the quote in Ebernoe
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.
