Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lions Green
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. Common call-outs are for a slow-draining kitchen sink and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, across inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Lions Green: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Lions Green?
Yes, Lions Green is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Lions Green?
Kitchens in Lions Green are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Why act early in Lions Green
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens cannot afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Never pour used oil down the sink
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage later.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Lions Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Lions Green. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lions Green. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. About 41 miles out from central London, Lions Green is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hellingly Hospital Railway (about 4.1 miles south-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you look after a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of All Saints or anywhere in Lions Green, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Lions Green, such as a historic house like Horselunges Manor (about 4 miles south), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

What affects the quote in Lions Green
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report

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 work begins.
