Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Petworth
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you have an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and drains clogged with fat, we can put it right, from kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Petworth, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Petworth knowing what to expect.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Petworth kitchens: local notes
There are about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Petworth, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. In Petworth, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Petworth Cof E Primary School or anywhere near Petworth, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital about 5.5 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How we price grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
