Grease trap cleaning in Oving, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. The work covers inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens, and people most often call us about drains that gurgle and bubble and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up.
Work in a small place like Oving starts with agreeing a date and access.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Oving
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A routine grease trap service
Hall and church kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Oving, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Oving
Can the work in Oving be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, Oving is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.

What happens on the day

- 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.
Before we arrive

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
Why it’s worth doing now in Oving
Wherever the kitchen is in Oving, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks won’t empty and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Oving is calmer for everyone.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Grease trap cleaning around Oving
There are about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Oving and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Food hygiene inspections in Oving are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
