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 an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and we clear up before we go. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Butt's Green.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work

Grease trap cleaning in Butt's Green: local notes
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Butt's Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. In Butt's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chelmsford council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. At about 31 miles from central London, Butt's Green sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
School kitchens, at schools like The Sandon School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Baddow Hospital about 1.8 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Historic houses such as Danbury Place (about 1.1 miles north-east) are part of the area around Butt's Green, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Keep access to the trap clear
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap will not fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
FAQs for Butt's Green
Do you work at weekends in Butt's Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Butt's Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Butt's Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Butt's Green is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take less than an hour for many under-sink units. We will confirm when we quote.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
