Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we allow for that.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
About our grease trap cleaning in Warnham
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. The work covers pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are drains clogged with fat and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time.
Somewhere as small as Warnham, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for Warnham
Can you get to a site in Warnham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a school kitchen in Warnham be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Warnham. You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
While we work, those sinks are out of use. The clean takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and we time it to suit you.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Typically, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A large or very full trap takes longer and we will say so when we quote.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
No two traps are quite the same, so we price each one individually. We give you a fixed price, normally within one working day.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Broken pipework below ground
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

Warnham kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered within about 1.5 miles of central Warnham. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. In Warnham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. We cover Warnham, about 30 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Warnham CofE Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Horsham Hospital, about 1.8 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Warnham; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

What we’re called out for in Warnham
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A small trap that fills too quickly
Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Warnham may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Warnham, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Warnham
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Hot water only moves grease further down
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
