West Sussex · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Tower Hill, West Sussex
Grease trap cleaning for Tower Hill, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Drains clogged with fat
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
What happens if it’s left?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Grease trap cleaning in Tower Hill, done properly
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. The work covers school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes, and people most often call us about scheduled grease trap emptying and a slow-draining kitchen sink.
Somewhere as small as Tower Hill, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically 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 are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Grease trap cleaning around Tower Hill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 52 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 22 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Tower Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. In Tower Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a café or takeaway near Christs Hospital station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St John's Catholic Primary School or anywhere near Tower Hill, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Horsham Hospital about 1.3 miles north-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
Tower Hill is about 1 mile south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Tower Hill, grease trap cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Tower Hill is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we work for commercial clients. We also work in Guildford, around 17 miles away.

Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Tower Hill.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Tower Hill questions
Can you come to Tower Hill after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Tower Hill keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Tower Hill?
Food hygiene inspections in Tower Hill are carried out by Horsham council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will recommend a schedule once we’ve seen it.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
A typical clean takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit including checking it drains. We plan the visit around your service.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do you work in Tower Hill?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Tower Hill included.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How we price grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
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 any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
