How we handle grease trap cleaning in Burwash Common
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. We are often asked to deal with drains clogged with fat and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, across under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Burwash Common?
Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. Once it cools, it sets in the pipework or the drain.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Burwash Common (the nearest hospital is Ticehurst House Hospital, about 5.1 miles north-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Burwash Common and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Questions from Burwash Common
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Burwash Common?
In Burwash Common, it’s Rother council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Is Burwash Common within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Burwash Common is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, and you can expect it to take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We will confirm when we quote.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
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’ll talk you through the next steps.

For a kitchen in Burwash Common, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency, often at a busy time. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Burwash Common is calmer for everyone.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
