When to call us in Ore
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
What we are most often called out for:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A full, neglected grease trap
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Sandown Primary School or anywhere near Ore, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the figure could change on the day
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Ore
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. If you’re dealing with a slow-draining kitchen sink and a routine grease trap service, we can put it right.
For a kitchen near Ore, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ore
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. A site near Ore that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Ore, so let us know how to reach it.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.

Grease trap cleaning around Ore
Look up Ore on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 5 food manufacturers and packers within about 1.5 miles of central Ore. A production site’s wash-down water can carry plenty of fat, which a trap or interceptor has to catch. Kitchens in Ore get their food hygiene inspections from Hastings council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Conquest Hospital, about 2 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Ore. Hall kitchens near Christ Church or elsewhere in Ore may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
