Grease trap cleaning in Hatfield Peverel
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. Typical jobs include a bad smell from the sinks or drains and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, across inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Hatfield Peverel are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is typically the first sign.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Questions from Hatfield Peverel
Which environmental health team covers Hatfield Peverel?
The local authority for Hatfield Peverel is Braintree council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you work in villages like Hatfield Peverel?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hatfield Peverel included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Tell us when your site near Hatfield Peverel is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
