About our grease trap cleaning in Albourne Street
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Albourne Street, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service so washing up isn’t interrupted. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps, and the jobs we see most are a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time.
For a kitchen in or near Albourne Street, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Albourne Street?
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can struggle when cooking increases.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; The Dene Hospital, about 2.7 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Albourne Street.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Albourne Street
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Albourne Street. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council inspect food businesses in Albourne Street. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
School kitchens, at schools like Albourne CofE Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Hall and church kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or anywhere around Albourne Street, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. A regular interval suits them well.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks are not in use so the kitchen isn’t disrupted.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage later.
Albourne Street questions
Can you get to a site in Albourne Street?
Yes. Albourne Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Albourne Street after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Albourne Street needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What happens if it’s left?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Albourne Street rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Albourne Street, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- 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.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
