Advice
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Steven's Crouch
Kitchens in Steven's Crouch use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. We are often asked to deal with a larger grease trap that needs emptying and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, on school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways.
Work in a small place like Steven's Crouch starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Why deal with it now?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction as part of a clean kitchen. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Common questions in Steven's Crouch
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Steven's Crouch?
Food hygiene inspections in Steven's Crouch are carried out by Rother council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you work at weekends in Steven's Crouch?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Steven's Crouch doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you work in Steven's Crouch?
Yes. Steven's Crouch is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
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 regular emptying and cleaning.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Mention any increase in cooking
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Steven's Crouch kitchens: local notes
It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Steven's Crouch. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned. We cover Steven's Crouch, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bexhill Hospital (about 4.4 miles south), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. Historic houses such as Durhamford Manor (about 4 miles north-east) are part of the area around Steven's Crouch, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. School kitchens, at schools like Claverham Community College for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Steven's Crouch
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
