Grease trap cleaning in Holbrook, West Sussex

- Foul odours from the grease trap

- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Holbrook can be planned properly.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading

Grease trap cleaning in Holbrook
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Holbrook, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks are not needed so washing up is not interrupted. Typical jobs include a routine grease trap service and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, across inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes.
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.
We’ve 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 carry full insurance.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens cannot afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
School, care home and staff kitchens
School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or after lunch service.
Why act early in Holbrook
Wherever the kitchen is in Holbrook, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks won’t empty and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Holbrook rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Grease trap cleaning in Holbrook: local notes

Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Holbrook. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.

Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Holbrook Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Where a church or community hall near St. Mark's Church, or anywhere in Holbrook, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.
