Grease trap cleaning in Roffey: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 food manufacturers and packers across Roffey and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where food is made in quantity, grease traps fill faster and need a tighter schedule. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Roffey. 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.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Horsham Hospital, about 1.1 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Roffey. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Northolmes Junior School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

About our grease trap cleaning in Roffey
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. We are often asked to deal with scheduled grease trap emptying and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, across school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Roffey are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is usually the first sign.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we’re called out for in Roffey
For a kitchen in Roffey or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
If you look after a hall kitchen near All Saints Church or anywhere in Roffey, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Managing agents and facilities teams in Roffey
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What else we do in Roffey
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. With more capacity, they fill more slowly but they still need cleaning.
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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Your opening hours decide when we come to Roffey, not ours.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Roffey
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Roffey?
That’s Horsham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Roffey. 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 come to Roffey after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Roffey keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What do you do with the waste?
We take it away. Your staff do not have to handle it after we’ve finished.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
