Grease Trap Cleaning in Keynor Estate
Professional grease trap cleaning in and around Keynor Estate, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with photos.
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- Drains clogged with fat
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
Grease trap cleaning in Keynor Estate
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. Common call-outs are for a larger grease trap that needs emptying and a small trap that fills too quickly, on under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps.
In a village or hamlet like Keynor Estate, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keynor Estate kitchens: local notes
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Keynor Estate, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Food hygiene inspections in Keynor Estate are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Sidlesham Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham or elsewhere in Keynor Estate, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Common problems we fix in Keynor Estate
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can struggle when cooking increases.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A full, neglected grease trap
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A routine grease trap service
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; St Richard's Hospital, about 5.2 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Keynor Estate.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Keynor Estate, 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.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks

Part by part
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
