How we price grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Belmont
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. The work covers inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and an overdue grease trap.
For a kitchen near Belmont, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day, and the journey is planned ahead.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. Visits are planned between meals.
Commercial kitchens in Belmont
Food Standards Agency data counts about 144 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 53 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Belmont. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. It’s Hastings council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Belmont. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Conquest Hospital about 2 miles north-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you run a kitchen near Ore station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.

Why act early in Belmont
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. Booking now means the visit to Belmont is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
The cost 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 we start, so you know where you stand.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
When to call us in Belmont
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
For schools such as Ark Castledown Primary Academy, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.
Comparing quotes
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a survey comes first
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Tell us when your site near Belmont is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Belmont questions
Can you work in Belmont outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Belmont keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Belmont?
In Belmont, it’s Hastings council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
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 will tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
A typical clean takes less than an hour for many under-sink units including checking it drains. We plan the visit around your service.
