How we handle grease trap cleaning in Strettington
In Strettington, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you’re dealing with drains that gurgle and bubble and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Strettington, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval usually suits them.

Strettington questions
Can school kitchens in Strettington be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Strettington. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Strettington?
The local authority for Strettington is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we will come back with a fixed price.
Do you work in Strettington?
Yes. Strettington is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
For the length of the clean, yes. It takes less than an hour for many under-sink units and we book it around your service.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Commercial kitchens in Strettington
Look up Strettington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 17 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Strettington, up to about a mile and a half out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Strettington. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
School kitchens, at schools like Boxgrove CofE Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Goodwood House, about 0.9 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses around Strettington; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
When to call us in Strettington
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Sinks that drain slowly
Hall kitchens near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere in Strettington may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Never pour used oil down the sink
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage typically prevents a blockage down the line.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Somewhere as small as Strettington, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- 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.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
