About our grease trap cleaning in Plumpton Green
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. Typical jobs include scheduled grease trap emptying and drains clogged with fat, across restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes.

How we price grease trap cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What happens on the day
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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Plumpton Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Plumpton Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Plumpton Green?
Kitchens in Plumpton Green are inspected by Lewes council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you get to a site in Plumpton Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Plumpton Green is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
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, normally within one working day.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

When to call us in Plumpton Green
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
If you look after a hall kitchen near All Saints or anywhere in Plumpton Green, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Mention any increase in cooking
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
