Grease trap cleaning around Partridge Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 food manufacturers and packers in and around Partridge Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Food production can send a lot of fat, oil and grease towards the drains, so traps and interceptors need emptying on a schedule. In Partridge Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. We cover Partridge Green, about 38 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you look after a hall kitchen near St Michael and All Angels Church or anywhere in Partridge Green, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Jolesfield CofE Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Grease trap cleaning in Partridge Green, done properly
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. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. Common call-outs are for drains that gurgle and bubble and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, across pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps.
Somewhere as small as Partridge Green, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Partridge Green
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
Part by part
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
What a clean won’t put right
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Partridge Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Partridge Green?
Kitchens in Partridge Green are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Can you work in Partridge Green outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Partridge Green can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we will tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
