How we handle grease trap cleaning in Bumble's Green
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Bumble's Green, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. The work covers under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are washing-up water that won’t drain away and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.

What else we do in Bumble's Green
What we’re called out for in Bumble's Green
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Princess Alexandra Hospital (about 3.7 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to investigate.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage later.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bumble's Green
For a kitchen in Bumble's Green, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency and normally at the worst moment. A planned visit to Bumble's Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

Advice
Bumble's Green: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bumble's Green?
The local authority for Bumble's Green is Epping Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you work overnight in Bumble's Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Bumble's Green needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What do you do with the waste?
We take it away. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we have finished.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
