How we price grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Grease trap cleaning in Langley Green
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. We are often asked to deal with an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and an interceptor full of grease and solids, on under-sink grease traps, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways.
In a place like Langley Green, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is typically the first sign.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly and need regular cleaning.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Langley Green and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
FAQs for Langley Green
Do you cover smaller places like Langley Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Langley Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Langley Green keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
There’s no single answer. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
A full trap can’t catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take less than an hour for many under-sink units. You’ll know before the visit.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Grease trap cleaning around Langley Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 9 hotels and guest houses in Langley Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. It’s Crawley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Langley Green. 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.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Langley Green Primary, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you look after a hall kitchen near Voice of Deliverance Full Gospel Church of God or anywhere in Langley Green, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. Langley Green Hospital, about less than half a mile south, is the nearest hospital to Langley Green; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, 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. Your opening hours decide when we come to Langley Green, not ours.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
