Do you need grease trap cleaning in Stunts Green?
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
Amberstone Hospital, about 1.8 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Stunts Green; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

About our grease trap cleaning in Stunts Green
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. Typical jobs include scheduled grease trap emptying and gurgling drains in the kitchen, across under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Stunts Green, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Stunts Green knowing what to expect.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage later.
FAQs for Stunts Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Stunts Green?
That’s Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stunts Green. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Will you come out to Stunts Green?
Yes, Stunts Green is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll quote so you know the cost up front.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A large or very full trap takes longer, and we’ll tell you in advance.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
