Grease trap cleaning in Feering

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

Grease trap cleaning in Feering, 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 the trap checked before we leave. Typical jobs include gurgling from the sink waste and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, across school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes.

Somewhere as small as Feering, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When something else is needed

Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:

  • Sewer problems outside the premises
  • A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
  • Plumbing leaks around the sink

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What the work covers

  • Pot wash sinks
  • Restaurants and takeaways
  • Inline grease traps
  • Under-sink grease traps
  • School and care home kitchens
  • Kitchen waste pipes

What we do, step by step

Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Feering, let us know and we’ll plan around it.

  1. We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
  2. Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
  3. The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
  4. Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
  5. Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Why act early in Feering

Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. In a small place like Feering, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

How the job changes from site to site

Restaurant and takeaway kitchens

A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.

Baffles and outlets

Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so water flows freely.

Questions from Feering

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Feering?

That’s Braintree council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Feering. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.

Can you work in school kitchens in Feering during the holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Feering. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

What’s TR19?

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

How do you protect the area?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.

How much does grease trap cleaning cost?

We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Get in touch and we’ll give you a fixed quote before any work starts.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

Aftercare tips

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Make sure the trap can be reached easily
  • Keep strainers in every sink
  • Never pour used oil down the sink
  • Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean

Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.

If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.

Grease trap cleaning around Feering

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 pubs and bars in Feering and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in Feering get their food hygiene inspections from Braintree council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.

Layer Marney Tower, about 3.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses around Feering; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Feering Church of England Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Hall and church kitchens, near Parish Church of All Saints or anywhere around Feering, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
