East Sussex · Grease trap cleaning
Jevington grease trap cleaning
One call covers emptying and cleaning of under-sink and inline grease traps in commercial kitchens in Jevington, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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 the report can go to both.
Grease trap cleaning in Jevington
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Jevington, 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, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and foul odours from the grease trap.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Jevington kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Jevington get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned. Jevington, about 51 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Alfriston Clergy House is about 2.7 miles west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. Eastbourne District General Hospital, about 2.3 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Jevington; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.
Jevington is about 3 miles west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. From the centre of Jevington to the outskirts, grease trap cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Across East Sussex, we cover 289 places, Jevington among them. Our Brighton page covers sites nearby, about 15 miles away.
Grease trap cleaning in BN26 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. That includes premises on Jevington Road, Church Lane and Green Lane and nearby roads. If your site is just outside Jevington, we cover Ratton Village (2 miles east), Friston (2 miles south), East Dean (2 miles south), Old Town (3 miles south-east) and Hampden Park (3 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (3 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (12 miles east), Seaford (5 miles west), Lewes (11 miles north-west), Hailsham (5 miles north) and St Leonards (15 miles east).
Local landmarks in Jevington
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Eight Bells Inn, among other places. The nearest railway station is Polegate station, about 2.3 miles north-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Burlough Castle (2.6 miles north-west) and Eastbourne District General Hospital (2.3 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Combe Hill.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.

What else we do in Jevington
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Jevington
Can you come to Jevington after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Jevington does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Jevington?
That is Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Jevington. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Typically, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Bigger or overdue traps need more time, and we will tell you in advance.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Jevington, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What affects the quote in Jevington
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For grease trap cleaning in Jevington, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Jevington
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction as part of a clean kitchen. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Why book with us
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A fixed price before any work starts
- We diagnose before we treat

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Jevington?
For a kitchen in Jevington or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
Look out for any of the following:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Gurgling from the sink waste
School kitchens, at schools like Willingdon Community School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
