How we handle grease trap cleaning in Glyndebourne
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Glyndebourne, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. The work covers school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are an interceptor full of grease and solids and scheduled grease trap emptying.
Work in a small place like Glyndebourne starts with agreeing a date and access.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens if it’s left?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What we’re called out for in Glyndebourne
In Glyndebourne, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lewes Victoria Hospital about 3.1 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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 the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Glyndebourne, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
