About our grease trap cleaning in Snow Hill
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. If you have washing-up water that won’t drain away and drains clogged with fat, we can help, from inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps onwards.
Somewhere as small as Snow Hill, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What we do, step by step
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 the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Snow Hill knowing what to expect.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Common problems we fix in Snow Hill
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
Historic houses such as Saint Hill Manor (about 3.4 miles south-east) are part of the area around Snow Hill, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.

What staff can safely do
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. Visits are planned between meals.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.
Grease trap cleaning in Snow Hill: local notes

Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council inspect food businesses in Snow Hill. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.

FAQs for Snow Hill
Which environmental health team covers Snow Hill?
Food hygiene inspections in Snow Hill are carried out by Mid Sussex council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Will you come out to Snow Hill?
Yes, Snow Hill is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff do not have to handle it once the clean is done.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
It depends where the blockage is. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
A typical clean takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap, including testing. It’s booked when the sinks are not needed.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. A photo helps us see what’s fitted when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
