Grease trap cleaning in Mountfield, done properly
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Common call-outs are for an interceptor full of grease and solids and a slow-draining kitchen sink, across kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps.
Somewhere as small as Mountfield, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Mountfield, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Mountfield kitchens: local notes
Mountfield, about 45 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mountfield. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Mountfield, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Mountfield, such as a historic house like Durhamford Manor (about 2 miles east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Vinehall School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

Leave it or put it right?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Mountfield: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Mountfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Mountfield are carried out by Rother council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can the work in Mountfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Mountfield keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do you do with the waste?
We take it away. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we have finished.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. You get a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
Do you work in Mountfield?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Mountfield.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Mention any increase in cooking
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage later.
