Commercial kitchens in Felpham
The FSA’s data shows about 32 pubs, bars and clubs and about 7 hotels and guest houses registered in Felpham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. In Felpham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Arun council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Felpham, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Felpham Community College for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Felpham
In Felpham, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t needed. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. Common call-outs are for a full, neglected grease trap and a small trap that fills too quickly, on under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens.
In a smaller place like Felpham, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Leave it or put it right?
In Felpham, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. A blocked drain is an emergency and typically at the worst moment. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why Felpham businesses choose us
- Full insurance on every job
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

What affects the quote in Felpham
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
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 job takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. For a site near Felpham, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
What we are called out for in Felpham
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A full, neglected grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital about 1 mile west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours

Common questions in Felpham
Do you work overnight in Felpham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Felpham needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you clean school kitchens in Felpham in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 20 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Felpham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
