Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Grease trap cleaning in Framfield
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. We’re often asked to deal with a slow-draining kitchen sink and an overdue grease trap, across pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
For a kitchen in or near Framfield, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

FAQs for Framfield
Do you cover smaller places like Framfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can a school kitchen in Framfield be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Framfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Somewhere like Framfield, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Framfield
Look up Framfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Framfield. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Framfield, about 38 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In Framfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Framfield Church of England Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Uckfield Community Hospital, about 1.2 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Framfield; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Common problems we fix in Framfield
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Gurgling from the sink waste
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Thomas à Becket Church or elsewhere in Framfield, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
What to look for in a quote
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether VAT is included
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
