Storrington grease trap cleaning
Need grease trap cleaning in Storrington? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Storrington
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Storrington, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service so washing up isn’t interrupted. Common call-outs are for a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, on inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Storrington are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is typically the first sign.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How we price grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Leave it or put it right?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. A planned visit to Storrington fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. For a place like Storrington, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- 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.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Storrington
Do you work at weekends in Storrington?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Storrington keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Storrington?
Kitchens in Storrington are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Storrington
Food Standards Agency data counts about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Storrington. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. About 43 miles out from central London, Storrington is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Storrington. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you look after a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere in Storrington, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Storrington Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Parham House, about 2 miles west, is one of the historic houses around Storrington; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.
