Grease trap cleaning in Pease Pottage
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. The work covers pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are an overdue grease trap and scheduled grease trap emptying.
In a smaller place like Pease Pottage, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

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. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. In a smaller place like Pease Pottage, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.

Pease Pottage kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in and around Pease Pottage, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Kitchens in Pease Pottage get their food hygiene inspections from Mid Sussex council. 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.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Pease Pottage, such as a historic house like Tyes Place (about 3.4 miles south), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Discovery New School or anywhere near Pease Pottage, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Questions from Pease Pottage
Can you get to a site in Pease Pottage?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pease Pottage included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Pease Pottage 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 Pease Pottage keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
What we are called out for in Pease Pottage
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Small amounts soon build up.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Crawley Hospital, about 2.3 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Pease Pottage.

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:

- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Blockages further down the drainage network
