Grease trap cleaning in Coxtie Green, done properly
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens, and the jobs we see most are gurgling drains in the kitchen and grease setting in the kitchen pipework.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Coxtie Green: your questions answered
Can you work in Coxtie Green outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Coxtie Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Coxtie Green?
In Coxtie Green, it’s Brentwood council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
There’s no single answer. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills, then suggest a schedule.
Common problems we fix in Coxtie Green
In Coxtie Green, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A full, neglected grease trap
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Coxtie Green, such as a historic house like Hare Hall (about 4.3 miles south-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job so prevention is the easier route.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Coxtie Green.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
