Grease Trap Cleaning in Pulborough

- A full, neglected grease trap
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Gurgling from the sink waste
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pulborough
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. We’re often asked to deal with a routine grease trap service and a small trap that fills too quickly, on inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes.
For a kitchen near Pulborough, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day, and the journey is planned ahead.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re 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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Grease trap cleaning around Pulborough
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Pulborough. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in Pulborough get their food hygiene inspections from Horsham council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Pulborough, such as a historic house like Old Place Manor (about 0.4 miles west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Pulborough may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

If your site is just outside Pulborough, we cover Hardham (1 mile south-west), Pickhurst (1 mile north-west), Coldwaltham (2 miles south-west), Fittleworth (3 miles west) and Bedham (3 miles west).

Around Pulborough
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Oddfellows Arms, among other places. Pulborough’s nearest station is Pulborough station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Around Pulborough, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

How we price grease trap cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Leave it or put it right?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Common questions in Pulborough
Can you come to Pulborough after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Will you come out to Pulborough?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Pulborough is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which sectors do you work in?
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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you take the waste away?
We remove all the waste we take out. It is not poured back down the drain at any point.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Bigger or overdue traps need more time, and we will tell you in advance.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.

- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
