Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in West Hill
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Grease trap cleaning in West Hill
Kitchens in West Hill use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service so washing up is not interrupted. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are sinks that drain slowly and grease setting in the kitchen pipework.
Around a place like West Hill, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Tell us when your site near West Hill is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Questions from West Hill
Can the work in West Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in West Hill can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in West Hill?
Kitchens in West Hill are inspected by Brighton and Hove council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long and we will adjust the schedule.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What happens if it’s left?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. Cleaning it removes the cause. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Every job surveyed first
- Each visit written up, with photos
- A fixed price before any work starts
