Grease trap cleaning in Fyfield
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. We are often asked to deal with a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a full, neglected grease trap, on inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps.
For a kitchen in or near Fyfield, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What happens if it’s left?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. Cleaning it removes the cause. In a small place like Fyfield, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

Grease trap cleaning in Fyfield: local notes
At about 23 miles from central London, Fyfield sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Fyfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Epping Forest council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
For schools such as The Ongar Academy, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays. Hall kitchens near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Fyfield may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

FAQs for Fyfield
Can the work in Fyfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Fyfield?
In Fyfield, it’s Epping Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
