About our grease trap cleaning in Cookley Green
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. If you are dealing with gurgling from the sink waste and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Cookley Green, 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Cookley Green
Can you get to a site in Cookley Green?
Yes, Cookley Green is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Cookley Green outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Cookley Green keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
A typical clean takes less than an hour for many under-sink units including checking it drains. We plan the visit around your service.
What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Cookley Green
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A routine grease trap service
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Botolph or elsewhere in Cookley Green, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
What to look for in a quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the price is fixed
- When the next visit should be, and why
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere as small as Cookley Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare

- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
