How we handle grease trap cleaning in Moulsecoomb
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Moulsecoomb, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks aren’t needed, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are drains that gurgle and bubble and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Moulsecoomb are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is usually the first sign.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids so less solid waste gets through.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage down the line.
FAQs for Moulsecoomb
Who inspects food businesses in Moulsecoomb?
That is Brighton and Hove council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Moulsecoomb. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you get to a site in Moulsecoomb?
Yes, Moulsecoomb is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long and we will adjust the schedule.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do you do with the waste?
The waste leaves with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is in Moulsecoomb, backed-up drains stop it working. Water will not drain away and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What we’re called out for in Moulsecoomb
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A routine grease trap service
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
If you look after a hall kitchen near St. Andrew's or anywhere in Moulsecoomb, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- How they set the interval to the next visit

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
