About grease trap cleaning in East Sussex

A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. We are often asked to deal with a slow-draining kitchen sink and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, across inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps.

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap.

First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.

Grease trap cleaning across East Sussex: local notes

Across East Sussex, from Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea outwards, commercial kitchens range from busy town-centre sites to school, care home and pub kitchens. All of them collect grease behind equipment, on high surfaces and in the drains.

Across England, including East Sussex, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work. Coastal kitchens in East Sussex often have their busiest months in the summer, so cleaning is often best booked before or after the peak season.

Eastbourne: Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Eastbourne District General Hospital, about 0.9 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Eastbourne. For busy kitchens close to Hampden Park station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing.

Part by part

Inline grease traps

Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.

Baffles and outlets

The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. They gather grease and debris, so we clean them.

When it’s something else

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:

Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
Broken pipework below ground

Signs you need grease trap cleaning

If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

A larger grease trap that needs emptying
Drains clogged with fat
A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
An under-sink trap that keeps filling up

Managing agents and facilities teams in East Sussex

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Between visits

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

Collect waste cooking oil separately
Book trap cleans at a set interval
Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Tell us when sinks start draining slowly

The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.

More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.

East Sussex questions

What do you do with what you remove?

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.

What types of premises do you cover?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.

What does TR19 mean?

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

Which grease traps does the service cover?

Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we’ll plan around it.

Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?

The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will quote before any work starts.

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.
