About our grease trap cleaning in Rowfant
For kitchens across Rowfant, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you have drains clogged with fat and a full, neglected grease trap, we can help.
Work in a small place like Rowfant starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When to call us in Rowfant
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An overdue grease trap
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Gurgling from the sink waste
School kitchens, at schools like Turners Hill CofE Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something 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.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit, and check the lid and seals.

Rowfant kitchens: local notes
Look up Rowfant on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways in and around Rowfant, up to about a mile and a half out. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. It’s Mid Sussex council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rowfant. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Rowfant, such as a historic house like Gravetye Manor (about 2.7 miles south-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Langley Green Hospital, about 4 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Rowfant.

Common questions in Rowfant
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Rowfant?
In Rowfant, it’s Mid Sussex council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can you get to a site in Rowfant?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Rowfant included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
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 does a grease trap clean cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Send us details or a photo and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
Only briefly, and only the sinks that feed the trap. Visits are booked outside your busiest hours where we can.
Do you take the waste away?
We remove all the waste we take out. It isn’t poured back down the drain at any point.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Rowfant, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
