Grease trap cleaning in Kent Street
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. The work covers school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease trap cleaning in Kent Street: local notes
Kent Street, about 37 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kent Street. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; The Dene Hospital, about 3.8 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Kent Street.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Kent Street.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. Cleaning it removes the cause. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?

What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Kent Street
Which council inspects kitchens in Kent Street?
The local authority for Kent Street is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Will you come out to Kent Street?
Yes, Kent Street is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
There’s no single answer. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Kent Street and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
