Grease trap cleaning in Itchingfield
In Itchingfield, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. Typical jobs include a slow-draining kitchen sink and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, on restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps.
For a kitchen in or near Itchingfield, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Itchingfield?
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A routine grease trap service
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Foul odours from the grease trap
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Itchingfield (the nearest hospital is Horsham Hospital, about 3.5 miles north-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
Before you book anyone
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease trap cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Itchingfield before we set off.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Itchingfield questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Itchingfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Itchingfield are carried out by Horsham council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you work overnight in Itchingfield?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Itchingfield can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What do you do with the waste?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Itchingfield
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
