About our grease trap cleaning in Robertsbridge
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. If you’re dealing with washing-up water that won’t drain away and a kitchen drain that smells, we can put it right, from inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Robertsbridge, 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: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Robertsbridge
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

FAQs for Robertsbridge
Do you work in villages like Robertsbridge?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Robertsbridge is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work overnight in Robertsbridge?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Robertsbridge keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. It sets there and narrows the pipes and causes blockages. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will quote before any work starts.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly but they still need cleaning.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still need regular emptying.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Somewhere as small as Robertsbridge, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

What affects the quote in Robertsbridge
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
