About our grease trap cleaning in Salehurst
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. If you have gurgling drains in the kitchen and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, we can put it right, from under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Salehurst, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Salehurst kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Salehurst get their food hygiene inspections from Rother council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. At about 43 miles from central London, Salehurst sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Salehurst Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Salehurst, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Where a church or community hall near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Salehurst, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Salehurst before we set off.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

What else we do in Salehurst
How we price grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Common questions in Salehurst
Will you come out to Salehurst?
Yes, Salehurst is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Salehurst?
In Salehurst, it’s Rother council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
What we are called out for in Salehurst
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. In the trap, they cool and separate and the grease layer grows.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A routine grease trap service
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
Ticehurst House Hospital, about 5.6 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Salehurst; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
