Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Horsemere Green
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. If you’re dealing with an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can help, from pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps onwards.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Horsemere Green
Can the work in Horsemere Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Horsemere Green needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in school kitchens around Horsemere Green out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Horsemere Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
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 before any work starts.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
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.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Horsemere Green before we set off.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive

- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area

Horsemere Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 food manufacturers and packers within about 1.5 miles of central Horsemere Green. For food producers, the grease trap schedule should follow the volume going through it. Food hygiene inspections in Horsemere Green are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall and church kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around Horsemere Green, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Arundel and District Hospital, about 3.1 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Horsemere Green.
Horsemere Green is about 2 miles west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Every kind of commercial site in Horsemere Green, we can take on grease trap cleaning.

Work in BN17 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

The countryside around Horsemere Green includes WWT Arundel.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage later.
What we are called out for in Horsemere Green
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
A summer deep clean suits schools such as St Mary's CofE Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. Visits are planned between meals.
