Questions from Newpound Common
Who inspects food businesses in Newpound Common?
Food hygiene inspections in Newpound Common are carried out by Chichester council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you work in school kitchens around Newpound Common out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Newpound Common. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
While we work, those sinks are out of use. It takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and we time it to suit you.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Grease trap cleaning in Newpound Common
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. If you’re dealing with a routine grease trap service and gurgling from the sink waste, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks onwards.
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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Newpound Common and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Inline grease traps

What happens if it’s left?
Wherever the kitchen is in Newpound Common, backed-up drains stop it working. Water won’t drain away, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Planning a trip to Newpound Common ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Common problems we fix in Newpound Common
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Wisborough Green Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Visits to a village like Newpound Common are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- 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
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
