Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Twineham Green
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. The work covers pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes, and common reasons people get in touch are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying.
For a kitchen in or near Twineham Green, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

What else we do in Twineham Green
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Keep strainers in every sink
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Twineham Green: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Twineham Green?
In Twineham Green, it’s Mid Sussex council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Will you come out to Twineham Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often, and we can shorten it.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with once the clean is done.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. For a village or hamlet like Twineham Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
