East Sussex · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Broad Street, East Sussex
Grease trap cleaning for commercial sites in Broad Street and across East Sussex. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A routine grease trap service
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- An overdue grease trap
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broad Street
In Broad Street, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t needed. We empty, clean and check the trap, and the waste is taken away. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. The work covers school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways, and people most often call us about an overdue grease trap and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap.
For a kitchen in or near Broad Street, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Broad Street
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. Cleaning it removes the cause. It’s simpler to plan the work at Broad Street now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Broad Street: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Broad Street?
Yes, Broad Street is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Broad Street?
Kitchens in Broad Street are inspected by Rother council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we will confirm.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Common problems we fix in Broad Street
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. In the trap, they cool and separate and the grease layer grows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
For schools such as Icklesham Church of England Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.

Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval usually suits them.
