East Sussex · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Burwash, East Sussex
Grease trap cleaning for commercial sites in Burwash and across East Sussex. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
About our grease trap cleaning in Burwash
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. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. Common call-outs are for gurgling from the sink waste and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, across restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes.
Somewhere as small as Burwash, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Burwash
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
School kitchens, at schools like Burwash CofE School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether VAT is included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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. From there, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. The timing of a visit to Burwash is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Common questions in Burwash
Do you cover smaller places like Burwash?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Burwash after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Burwash keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Leave it or put it right?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Burwash rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Grease trap cleaning around Burwash
Food hygiene inspections in Burwash are the job of Rother council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. Burwash is about 40 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
