How we handle grease trap cleaning in North Heath
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. If you have a full, neglected grease trap and a small trap that fills too quickly, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps onwards.
For a kitchen in or near North Heath, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. In a small place like North Heath, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Leave it or put it right?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. In a small place like North Heath, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Questions from North Heath
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in North Heath?
Kitchens in North Heath are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you work overnight in North Heath?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in North Heath does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in North Heath
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
Around North Heath, deep cleans are booked when the kitchen is closed.
