- A routine grease trap service
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Gurgling from the sink waste
What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
About our grease trap cleaning in Sedlescombe
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. If you have gurgling from the sink waste and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps onwards.
Somewhere as small as Sedlescombe, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Commercial kitchens in Sedlescombe
We cover Sedlescombe, about 48 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from Rother council inspect food businesses in Sedlescombe. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
School kitchens, at schools like Sedlescombe CofE Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Where a church or community hall near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Sedlescombe, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage later.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Blockages further down the drainage network
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen waste pipes

What affects the quote in Sedlescombe
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Sedlescombe knowing what to expect.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
