Grease trap cleaning in Streat
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Common call-outs are for sinks that drain slowly and drains clogged with fat, across restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
Work in a small place like Streat starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Streat
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
FAQs for Streat
Can school kitchens in Streat be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Streat. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Streat within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It is not poured back down the drain at any point.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

What a clean will not put right
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Sewer problems outside the premises
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Grease trap cleaning in Streat: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Streat and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Environmental health officers from Lewes council inspect food businesses in Streat. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. Streat is about 40 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Hall kitchens near Streat Church or elsewhere in Streat may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lewes Victoria Hospital about 4.5 miles south-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. Somewhere as small as Streat, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
