What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
About our grease trap cleaning in Wallcrouch
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you have an overdue grease trap and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, we can help.
Work in a small place like Wallcrouch starts with agreeing a date and access.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber

Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen and check the seal on the lid.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Wallcrouch: your questions answered
Can you come to Wallcrouch after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Wallcrouch does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Wallcrouch?
The local authority for Wallcrouch is Rother council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Where does the waste go?
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.

What happens if it’s left?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. If the system at a site near Wallcrouch fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Visits to a village like Wallcrouch are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wallcrouch
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Grease trap cleaning in Wallcrouch: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Wallcrouch and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. About 37 miles out from central London, Wallcrouch is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kitchens in Wallcrouch get their food hygiene inspections from Rother council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
School kitchens, at schools like Stonegate Church of England Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Wallcrouch (the nearest hospital is Ticehurst House Hospital, about 1 mile east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Shover's Green Baptist Chapel or elsewhere in Wallcrouch, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
