Grease Trap Cleaning in Salvington
For emptying and cleaning of under-sink and inline grease traps in commercial kitchens in Salvington, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and we clear up before we go. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Salvington when you book.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Grease trap cleaning in Salvington, done properly
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Typical jobs include sinks that drain slowly and foul odours from the grease trap, across under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways.
In a place like Salvington, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is usually the first sign.

What affects the quote in Salvington
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, 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.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Salvington?
A busy kitchen in Salvington, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. Traps sized for lighter use can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Durrington Infant School or anywhere near Salvington, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Common questions in Salvington
Can a school kitchen in Salvington be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 13 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Salvington, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will you come out to Salvington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
What does TR19 mean?
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 it takes a risk-based approach.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.

A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Food hygiene inspections in Salvington are the job of Worthing council’s environmental health team.

Other services in Salvington
Managing agents and facilities teams in Salvington
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
