How we handle grease trap cleaning in Tillington
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Tillington, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. If you’re dealing with sinks that drain slowly and gurgling drains in the kitchen, we can help, from school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Tillington, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Tillington?
A busy kitchen in Tillington, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Petworth Cof E Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Tillington knowing what to expect.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- 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.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Keep strainers in every sink
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Tillington
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

Grease trap cleaning in Tillington: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 pubs and bars as registered food businesses across Tillington 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. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Tillington. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of All Hallows or elsewhere in Tillington may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Petworth House is about 0.8 miles east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

FAQs for Tillington
Is Tillington within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Tillington is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Tillington?
In Tillington, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Do you take the waste away?
The waste leaves with us. You’re not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
