FAQs for Hill Brow
Can you get to a site in Hill Brow?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Hill Brow?
Food hygiene inspections in Hill Brow are carried out by Chichester council. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
Do you take the waste away?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Get in touch and we’ll send you a fixed quote so you know the cost up front.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
Only briefly, and only the sinks that feed the trap. We plan the visit for a quieter time wherever possible.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Hill Brow
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are a full, neglected grease trap and scheduled grease trap emptying.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we’re called out for in Hill Brow
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. In the trap, they cool and separate and the grease layer grows.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An overdue grease trap
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
Where a church or community hall near Rake Mission Church, or anywhere in Hill Brow, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. They gather grease and debris, so we clean them.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hill Brow and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Hill Brow.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

How we price grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
