Grease trap cleaning in Bachelor's Bump
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. Common call-outs are for an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, on school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Bachelor's Bump: your questions answered
Is Bachelor's Bump within the area you cover?
Yes, Bachelor's Bump is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in school kitchens in Bachelor's Bump during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bachelor's Bump. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What do you do with the waste?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we have finished.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
A typical clean takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, including testing. We plan the visit around your service.
How it works
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 anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Bachelor's Bump run smoothly.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Bachelor's Bump kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Bachelor's Bump. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Environmental health officers from Hastings council inspect food businesses in Bachelor's Bump. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall kitchens near Christ Apostolic Church Hastings or elsewhere in Bachelor's Bump may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. A summer deep clean suits schools such as The Hastings Academy, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Conquest Hospital (about 2.3 miles west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They hold more than under-sink units but still need regular emptying.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
