For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
About our grease trap cleaning in Burn's Green
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. We’re often asked to deal with washing-up water that won’t drain away and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, on kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Burn's Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

What affects the quote in Burn's Green
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Questions from Burn's Green
Which environmental health team covers Burn's Green?
Kitchens in Burn's Green are inspected by East Hertfordshire council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you work in Burn's Green outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Part by part
Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Why deal with it now?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water cannot get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Burn's Green is calmer for everyone.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
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 we are called out for in Burn's Green
For a kitchen in Burn's Green or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An overdue grease trap
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Burn's Green, such as a historic house like Aston Bury (about 2.1 miles west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit

- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
