Grease Trap Cleaning in Catsfield
Grease trap cleaning for Catsfield, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A routine grease trap service
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Catsfield knowing what to expect.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Grease trap cleaning in Catsfield
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate, and clean water flows on. Eventually it fills and has to be emptied and cleaned. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are a full, neglected grease trap and an interceptor full of grease and solids.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why act early in Catsfield
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. That only moves the grease further down the pipe, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why us?

What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so the trap works as it should.
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Catsfield questions
Do you cover smaller places like Catsfield?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Catsfield is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Catsfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Catsfield are carried out by Rother council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we will tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
