Grease trap cleaning in Ifold, done properly
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you have an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, we can help, from restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps onwards.
Work in a small place like Ifold starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
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.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Broken pipework below ground
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Commercial kitchens in Ifold
Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Ifold. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. About 35 miles out from central London, Ifold is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Hall kitchens near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Ifold may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so you don’t lose trade.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere as small as Ifold, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Ifold
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
When to call us in Ifold
A busy kitchen in Ifold, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A routine grease trap service
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A small trap that fills too quickly
School kitchens, at schools like Loxwood Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they recommend a next date
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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.

We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
