Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or between meal services.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
Grease trap cleaning in Ninfield, done properly
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate, and clean water flows on. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. Typical jobs include drains that gurgle and bubble and sinks that drain slowly, on under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks.
In a village or hamlet like Ninfield, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Common problems we fix in Ninfield
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
Where a church or community hall near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Ninfield, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.
Questions to ask before you book
- What hours they’ll be on site

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem 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.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
What affects the quote in Ninfield
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Ninfield
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered across Ninfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. We cover Ninfield, about 48 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Food hygiene inspections in Ninfield are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bexhill Hospital (about 3.5 miles south-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Ninfield Church of England Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
Every trap is different, so we quote once we know what you have. You get a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we’ll plan the visit.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?

Do you take the waste away?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s 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. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Ninfield.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
