Grease trap cleaning across Hurst Green

What happens if it’s left?

A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. 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 Hurst Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Why us?

  • We are fully insured
  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
  • Photo reports with every job
  • One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Grease trap cleaning in Hurst Green

Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you are dealing with a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and a slow-draining kitchen sink, we can put it right, from kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks onwards.

Somewhere as small as Hurst Green, 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.

A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods

Restaurant and takeaway kitchens

Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval usually suits them.

School, care home and staff kitchens

School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or after lunch service.

Multi-site and managed buildings

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 can quote for the whole system.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Hurst Green

Which environmental health team covers Hurst Green?

That is Rother council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hurst Green. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.

Can the work in Hurst Green be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Hurst Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.

What about areas you cannot get to?

The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

How far ahead should we book?

For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Which sectors do you work in?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.

Do we need to close while you work?

Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

When it’s something else

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • Sewer problems outside the premises
  • Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
  • Drains that are cracked or have collapsed

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Where we work

  • School and care home kitchens
  • Inline grease traps
  • Pot wash sinks
  • Restaurants and takeaways
  • Kitchen waste pipes
  • Under-sink grease traps

What affects the quote in Hurst Green

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • The number of sites or systems
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Helping us quote

We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:

  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site

For grease trap cleaning in Hurst Green, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.

How the visit works

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. 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. Somewhere like Hurst Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.

  1. We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
  2. We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
  3. We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
  4. The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
  5. The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Ask for a quote

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
