How we handle grease trap cleaning in Pound Hill
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. We’re often asked to deal with a small trap that fills too quickly and drains clogged with fat, across inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways.
Work in a smaller place like Pound Hill is planned around your opening hours.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Why act early in Pound Hill
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. 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. Around Pound Hill, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why Pound Hill businesses choose us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Pound Hill
Who inspects food businesses in Pound Hill?
In Pound Hill, it’s Crawley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. 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.
Do you work overnight in Pound Hill?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Pound Hill needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
How we price grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For grease trap cleaning in Pound Hill, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Pound Hill when you book.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.

Before we arrive

Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
