Grease trap cleaning in Nutbourne, done properly
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Nutbourne, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. Typical jobs include sinks that drain slowly and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, on pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes.
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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Nutbourne kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs, bars and clubs across Nutbourne and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Food hygiene inspections in Nutbourne are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you look after a hall kitchen near St Wilfrid's Church and Hall or anywhere in Nutbourne, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. School kitchens, at schools like Chidham Parochial Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Why act early in Nutbourne
Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. A fault that closes a site in a village like Nutbourne affects everyone who depends on it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Nutbourne, let us know and we will plan around it.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

FAQs for Nutbourne
Do you work in school kitchens around Nutbourne out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Nutbourne. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Nutbourne?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Nutbourne included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Send us details or a photo and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Typically, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Bigger or overdue traps need more time, and we’ll tell you in advance.
