About our grease trap cleaning in Hurstpierpoint
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. If you are dealing with scheduled grease trap emptying and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can put it right, from kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps onwards.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Hurstpierpoint are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is usually the first sign.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Everything the job in Hurstpierpoint needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Advice
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Mention any increase in cooking
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Broken pipework below ground
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Commercial kitchens in Hurstpierpoint
The Food Standards Agency lists about 9 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hurstpierpoint. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. In Hurstpierpoint, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like The Dene Hospital about 2.1 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. A summer deep clean suits schools such as St Lawrence CofE Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Hurstpierpoint
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When to call us in Hurstpierpoint
