About our grease trap cleaning in Upper Beeding
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. Typical jobs include a larger grease trap that needs emptying and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, across restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Beeding, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every 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.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Upper Beeding.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What else we do in Upper Beeding
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Upper Beeding kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Upper Beeding. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Food hygiene inspections in Upper Beeding are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Upper Beeding may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Upper Beeding Primary School or anywhere near Upper Beeding, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Historic houses such as Portslade Manor (about 4.6 miles south-east) are part of the area around Upper Beeding, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Beeding
For a kitchen in Upper Beeding, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem and typically at the worst moment. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to investigate.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
