Grease trap cleaning in West Green
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. We are often asked to deal with a kitchen drain that smells and a full, neglected grease trap, on restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps.
In a place like West Green, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is usually the first sign.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in West Green
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a place like West Green are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What a clean will not put right

- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in West Green

Do you need grease trap cleaning in West Green?
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets in the pipework or the drain.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- An overdue grease trap
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Drains clogged with fat
If you run a kitchen near Crawley station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they’re fully insured
How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen, and check the lid and seals.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in West Green
Can you work in West Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in West Green keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in West Green?
Food hygiene inspections in West Green are carried out by Crawley council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Get in touch and we will give you a fixed quote so you know the cost up front.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in West Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 94 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 44 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central West Green. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Food hygiene inspections in West Green are the job of Crawley council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Crawley Hospital, about 0.5 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to West Green; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.
