About our grease trap cleaning in Lurgashall
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. If you have a bad smell from the sinks or drains and washing-up water that won’t drain away, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps onwards.
Work in a small place like Lurgashall starts with agreeing a date and access.
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, trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Somewhere as small as Lurgashall, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Lurgashall
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A full, neglected grease trap
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Midhurst Community Hospital (about 4.1 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they recommend a next date

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Part by part
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. They fill quickly and need regular cleaning.

Lurgashall: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Lurgashall?
The local authority for Lurgashall is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Will you come out to Lurgashall?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lurgashall included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often and we will adjust the schedule.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
The sinks that drain into the trap cannot be used while it’s open. We book the visit around your service so the kitchen isn’t held up.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Commercial kitchens in Lurgashall
Lurgashall is about 41 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in Lurgashall get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Lurgashall may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Lurgashall, such as a historic house like Petworth House (about 3.9 miles south-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

Around Lurgashall
The nearest railway station is Haslemere station, about 4.5 miles north-west. Nearby you’ll also find Midhurst Community Hospital (4.1 miles south-west) and Lodsworth Castle (3.6 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Blackdown and Shillinglee Lake.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to investigate.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
Why act early in Lurgashall
For a kitchen in Lurgashall, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency and usually at the worst moment. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
