Why deal with it now?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Sinks will not empty, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Grease, dust and wear all build up with time.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

About our grease trap cleaning in Selsey
Kitchens in Selsey use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying.
A grease trap in a busy kitchen fills with fat, oil and food waste, and a full trap lets fat through to the drains. Emptying and cleaning on a schedule keeps drains in Selsey running.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

Grease trap cleaning around Selsey
Look up Selsey on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 22 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 13 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Selsey, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Selsey. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter's Church or elsewhere in Selsey, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Seal Primary Academy, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. For a site in a town like Selsey, tell us your opening hours, where we can park and how we reach the roof or plant.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
Selsey: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Selsey?
The local authority for Selsey is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. 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 work in Selsey outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. Where the problem is further down the drain, we’ll say so and suggest a drainage contractor.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you take the waste away?
We take it away. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we have finished.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Selsey
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Broken pipework below ground
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
