Grease trap cleaning in Bradfield
For kitchens across Bradfield, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. Typical jobs include a small trap that fills too quickly and an interceptor full of grease and solids, across under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes.
For a kitchen in or near Bradfield, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What we are called out for in Bradfield
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
Hall kitchens near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Bradfield may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Bradfield knowing what to expect.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area

Part by part
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. Somewhere as small as Bradfield, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Bradfield
Can you work in Bradfield outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Bradfield does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Bradfield within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bradfield included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We’ll recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Tell us about the trap and we will send you a fixed quote.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
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 will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

In Bradfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tendring council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Bradfield Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
