Muddles Green grease trap cleaning
Need grease trap cleaning in Muddles Green? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Drains clogged with fat
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Muddles Green can be planned properly.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Muddles Green
For kitchens across Muddles Green, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap, and the waste is taken away. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. Typical jobs include a bad smell from the sinks or drains and drains clogged with fat, across kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps.
For a kitchen in or near Muddles Green, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Keep access to the trap clear
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Why deal with it now?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water will not drain away, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Somewhere as small as Muddles Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Muddles Green
Can you work in Muddles Green outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Muddles Green can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Muddles Green?
Kitchens in Muddles Green are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Get in touch and we’ll give you a fixed quote before any work starts.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
It depends where the blockage is. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Typically, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A large or very full trap takes longer and we will say so when we quote.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Broken pipework below ground
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

- School and care home kitchens
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Muddles Green
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 records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly but they still need cleaning.
