How we handle grease trap cleaning in Poling
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Poling, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service so washing up is not interrupted. If you have an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and a routine grease trap service, we can help.
Work in a small place like Poling starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Poling
The FSA’s data shows about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs registered in and around Poling, up to about a mile and a half out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Kitchens in Poling get their food hygiene inspections from Arun council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Poling, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Zachary Merton Hospital, about 2.1 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Poling. For schools such as The Littlehampton Academy, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.

Questions from Poling
Can the work in Poling be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Poling does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Poling?
Yes. Poling is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Why act early in Poling
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. In a small place like Poling, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What you get with us
- In business since 2009
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Full insurance on every job
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Blockages further down the drainage network
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Poling, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
