- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Grease trap cleaning in Nash Street, done properly
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you are dealing with drains that gurgle and bubble and a kitchen drain that smells, we can put it right.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
When to call us in Nash Street
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A routine grease trap service
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
Where a church or community hall near The Parish Church, or anywhere in Nash Street, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date
Grease trap cleaning in Nash Street: local notes
Look up Nash Street on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Nash Street. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Nash Street, about 44 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in Nash Street are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Horselunges Manor is about 2 miles east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. Hellingly Hospital Railway, about 2.6 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Nash Street; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.
Nash Street is about 3 miles north-west of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Anywhere in BN27, we can carry out grease trap cleaning at your premises. Nash Street is one of 289 towns, villages and districts in East Sussex we cover for grease trap cleaning. You can also see our page for Brighton, roughly 15 miles from Nash Street.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
Leave it or put it right?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water will not drain away and waste water can come back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. In a place like Nash Street, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Common questions in Nash Street
Can the work in Nash Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Nash Street needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Nash Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Nash Street is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, but a clean generally takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. We will confirm when we quote.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Nash Street, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
