Grease trap cleaning in Curling Tye Green, done properly
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and school and care home kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and washing-up water that won’t drain away.
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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Curling Tye Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Curling Tye Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Curling Tye Green, about 35 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Curling Tye Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maldon council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
For schools such as Plume School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Danbury Place is about 3.8 miles west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

Part by part
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. They gather grease and debris so they’re cleaned every time.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers

What else we do in Curling Tye Green
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Curling Tye Green.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
