Grease traps, drains, interceptors and pump stations looked after for hotels, restaurants, businesses and homes across Eastbourne.
Eastbourne is a big seaside resort with a long seafront of hotels, a busy town centre, the marina at Sovereign Harbour and large residential areas stretching back to the Downs. It’s on mains drainage, so our work here is mostly commercial kitchens, drains and pumps.
Hotels and restaurants need their grease traps emptied, and busy summer seasons mean more fat going down the drain. Sovereign Harbour and the business parks have pumps, interceptors and gullies to look after. The eastern side of town is low-lying, near the Pevensey Levels, so drains run slowly and some sites rely on pumping.
Behind the town, villages like Jevington, East Dean and Friston have homes on septic tanks and treatment plants. Our crews work in East Sussex most days and we answer the phone 24 hours a day.
Seafront hotels, restaurants and takeaways produce a lot of fat, oil and grease, especially in summer. We empty grease traps on a schedule that fits your season, outside service hours if you prefer, and leave a waste transfer note every time.

We clear blocked drains at hotels, flats and homes with high-pressure jetting and survey them with CCTV to find the cause.

Sovereign Harbour and the low-lying east of the town depend on pumps. We service them, test pumps, floats and alarms, and respond 24/7 when one fails.

Business parks, car parks and marina sites need interceptors and gullies cleaned to keep oil and silt out of the drains. We set up regular schedules with waste transfer notes.

A resort town with low ground to the east.
Hotels and restaurants get much busier in summer. Grease traps may need emptying more often in peak season.
Near the Pevensey Levels, ground is flat and low, so drains run slowly and some sites need pumps.
Villages behind the town are in the South Downs National Park, where tanks must work properly on the chalk.
