About our grease trap cleaning in Broyle Side
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Broyle Side, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. Common call-outs are for a full, neglected grease trap and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, across restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Somewhere like Broyle Side, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we are done.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Broyle Side kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Broyle Side and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. In Broyle Side, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Lewes council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Where a church or community hall near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Broyle Side, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Broyle Side, such as a historic house like Glyndebourne (about 1.7 miles south), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

FAQs for Broyle Side

Which environmental health team covers Broyle Side?
The local authority for Broyle Side is Lewes council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. 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.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often and we’ll adjust the schedule.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Broyle Side
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How we price grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Why it’s worth doing now in Broyle Side
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. It’s simpler to plan the work at Broyle Side now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
