About our grease trap cleaning in Argos Hill
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. Typical jobs include gurgling drains in the kitchen and a slow-draining kitchen sink, across inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps.
Work in a small place like Argos Hill starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Argos Hill questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Argos Hill?
Food hygiene inspections in Argos Hill are carried out by Wealden council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Will you come out to Argos Hill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Argos Hill is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
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 can shorten it.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff do not have to handle it once the clean is done.
Which sectors do you work in?
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 clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we’ll plan the visit.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease set hard in the drain run
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Inline grease traps

- Under-sink grease traps
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Argos Hill knowing what to expect.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Related advice
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Argos Hill?
For a kitchen in Argos Hill or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A routine grease trap service
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Foul odours from the grease trap
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Crowborough War Memorial Hospital about 3.7 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage down the line.

Argos Hill kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Argos Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). 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 Argos Hill are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. About 35 miles out from central London, Argos Hill is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Rotherfield Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Historic houses such as Wadhurst Castle (about 4.4 miles north-east) are part of the area around Argos Hill, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.
