Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Furnace Green
Is Furnace Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Furnace Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Furnace Green?
That’s Crawley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Furnace Green. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. There it hardens on the pipe walls and causes blockages. Regular cleaning prevents it.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, and you can expect it to take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. You’ll know before the visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on in Furnace Green

What we’re called out for in Furnace Green
If a trap isn’t emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
Where a church or community hall near St Andrew's Church, or anywhere in Furnace Green, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

What happens if it’s left?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Everything the job in Furnace Green needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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. We typically come back within one working day.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Furnace Green kitchens: local notes
There are about 32 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 20 takeaways in Furnace Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Food hygiene inspections in Furnace Green are the job of Crawley council’s environmental health team. 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.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
