Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lagness
Kitchens in Lagness use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. We’re often asked to deal with grease setting in the kitchen pipework and a kitchen drain that smells, across under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes.
Somewhere as small as Lagness, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, 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.

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor

Lagness: your questions answered
Can you work in Lagness outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Lagness can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you work in school kitchens in Lagness during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Lagness. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. You’ll know before the visit.
Do you cover Lagness?
Yes. We work in Lagness and the rest of West Sussex, within our South East and London area. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.

Part by part
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Lagness kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Lagness. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Kitchens in Lagness get their food hygiene inspections from Arun council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Giles or elsewhere in Lagness, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Lagness (the nearest hospital is Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, about 2.4 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
Lagness is about 2 miles west of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Lagness, we can take on grease trap cleaning. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Our area takes in 371 places across West Sussex, large and small. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 15 miles away.
Work in PO20 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. We also cover Runcton (1 mile north-west), Merston (1 mile north), North Mundham (2 miles north-west), Colworth (2 miles north-east) and Hunston (2 miles west). Further out, we also cover Worthing (14 miles east), Chichester (4 miles north-west), Selsey (5 miles south-west), Littlehampton (9 miles east), Emsworth (10 miles west) and Rustington (10 miles east).
Around Lagness
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Regis School and Avisford, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Bognor Regis station, roughly 2.5 miles east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Tote Copse Castle (2.9 miles north-east) and Bognor Regis Museum (2.5 miles south-east).
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Lagness and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Lagness, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency and normally at the worst moment. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

When to call us in Lagness
For a kitchen in Lagness or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An overdue grease trap
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
For schools such as Rose Green Junior School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays.

- Whether a survey comes first
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Somewhere like Lagness, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
