East Sussex · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Flowers Green, East Sussex
For emptying and cleaning of under-sink and inline grease traps in commercial kitchens in Flowers Green, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Grease trap cleaning in Flowers Green
Kitchens in Flowers Green use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. Common call-outs are for gurgling from the sink waste and a slow-draining kitchen sink, on pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Flowers Green, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the grease trap cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Flowers Green run smoothly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Flowers Green questions
Do you work in villages like Flowers Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Flowers Green?
In Flowers Green, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
How we price grease trap cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For grease trap cleaning in Flowers Green, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.

Also in Flowers Green
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Flowers Green?
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. In the trap, they cool and separate and the grease layer grows.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Drains clogged with fat
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Flowers Green, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether VAT is included
Leave it or put it right?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. It just shifts the grease further along to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. Somewhere as small as Flowers Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Flowers Green, about 46 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
