West Sussex · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Shripney, West Sussex
Grease trap cleaning across Shripney and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- An overdue grease trap
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A small trap that fills too quickly
What staff can safely do
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, and that is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Grease trap cleaning in Shripney
For kitchens across Shripney, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks, and the jobs we see most are a larger grease trap that needs emptying and an overdue grease trap.
In a village or hamlet like Shripney, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. If the system at a site near Shripney fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Shripney questions
Who inspects food businesses in Shripney?
In Shripney, it’s Arun council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Is Shripney within the area you cover?
Yes, Shripney is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, and you can expect it to take an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. You will know before the visit.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
Common problems we fix in Shripney
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An overdue grease trap
- A routine grease trap service
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Shripney (the nearest hospital is Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, about 1.3 miles south), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
Before you book anyone
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Shripney kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 pubs and bars across Shripney and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. In Shripney, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Arun council. 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 look after a hall kitchen near Holy Cross Church or anywhere in Shripney, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. For schools such as Bersted Green Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.
