Grease trap cleaning in Staplecross, East Sussex

- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A full, neglected grease trap
What we are called out for in Staplecross
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
Hall kitchens near St Marks Staplecross or elsewhere in Staplecross may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
What your quote should include

- What insurance they carry
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Staplecross
For kitchens across Staplecross, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. The work covers pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes, and people most often call us about sinks that drain slowly and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staplecross kitchens: local notes
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Staplecross, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Food hygiene inspections in Staplecross are the job of Rother council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned. About 45 miles out from central London, Staplecross is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Staplecross Methodist Primary School or anywhere near Staplecross, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Durhamford Manor is about 2.4 miles south), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Staplecross
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Staplecross?
The local authority for Staplecross is Rother council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you work overnight in Staplecross?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Staplecross doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do I get a report after the visit?
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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We will recommend a schedule once we’ve seen it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Staplecross can be planned properly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Staplecross and across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
