Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Westhampnett
Kitchens in Westhampnett use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. We’re often asked to deal with drains clogged with fat and drains that gurgle and bubble, across inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Westhampnett can be planned properly.
- 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.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them, so we clean them.
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Common questions in Westhampnett
Will you come out to Westhampnett?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Westhampnett?
In Westhampnett, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: 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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. You get a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
The sinks that drain into the trap can’t be used while it’s open. That is why we time visits around service so the kitchen isn’t held up.
How we price grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Grease trap cleaning around Westhampnett
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 91 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways across Westhampnett and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Westhampnett. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
For schools such as The March CofE Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.

What staff can safely do
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, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Westhampnett
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
