Grease trap cleaning in Kingston near Lewes
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. Common call-outs are for an overdue grease trap and drains clogged with fat, on under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price grease trap cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Common questions in Kingston near Lewes
Can you work in school kitchens in Kingston near Lewes during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Kingston near Lewes, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Kingston near Lewes?
Kitchens in Kingston near Lewes are inspected by Lewes council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
A full trap can’t catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Kingston near Lewes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Kingston near Lewes. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in Kingston near Lewes get their food hygiene inspections from Lewes council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Kingston near Lewes

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
