About our grease trap cleaning in Trench Green
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. The work covers school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps, and people most often call us about a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time.
Somewhere as small as Trench Green, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Trench Green
Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. Once it cools, it sets in the pipework or the drain.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A routine grease trap service
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
Battle Hospital, about 2.6 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Trench Green; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they recommend a next date
Why deal with it now?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. In a small place like Trench Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, alongside our reports.
Common questions in Trench Green
Do you cover smaller places like Trench Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Trench Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Trench Green outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Trench Green keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Trench Green before we set off.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
