Grease trap cleaning in Udimore
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. Typical jobs include a routine grease trap service and gurgling from the sink waste, across kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Do not store things on top of the trap
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear so prevention is the easier route.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Udimore
Udimore, about 50 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Environmental health officers from Rother council inspect food businesses in Udimore. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Udimore, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Conquest Hospital, about 5.4 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Udimore.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still need regular emptying.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Udimore run smoothly.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
When something else is needed
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Udimore: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Udimore?
Kitchens in Udimore are inspected by Rother council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you get to a site in Udimore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you take the waste away?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It isn’t poured back down the drain, of course.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Send us details or a photo and we will give you a fixed quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When to call us in Udimore
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:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
Lamb House, about 3.4 miles east, is one of the historic houses around Udimore; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they recommend a next date
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
