Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Twineham
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. The work covers under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen drain that smells and drains clogged with fat.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and 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.

Common questions in Twineham
Do you cover smaller places like Twineham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Twineham outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Twineham can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something 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.
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.
What we are called out for in Twineham
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; The Dene Hospital, about 2 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Twineham.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks are not in use so the kitchen isn’t disrupted.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
Grease trap cleaning in Twineham: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Twineham. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Food hygiene inspections in Twineham are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. Twineham, about 37 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.

What else we do in Twineham
What happens on the day
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. The visit takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere like Twineham, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
