About our grease trap cleaning in Roedean
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. If you have a small trap that fills too quickly and a routine grease trap service, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Roedean, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Never pour used oil down the sink
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
Roedean kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 33 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Roedean and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Environmental health officers from Brighton and Hove council inspect food businesses in Roedean. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as French Convalescent Home (about 0.5 miles west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mark's Church or elsewhere in Roedean, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Roedean
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. In the trap, they cool and separate and the grease layer grows.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Roedean, such as a historic house like Royal Pavilion (about 1.9 miles west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

Advice
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Blockages further down the drainage network
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Brighton and Hove. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Roedean: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Roedean?
Yes, Roedean is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you clean school kitchens in Roedean in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 26 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Roedean. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
For the length of the clean, yes. It takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap and we book it around your service.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
The size and state of the trap make the difference, but a clean generally takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. You will know before the visit.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
