About our grease trap cleaning in Hawbush Green
For kitchens across Hawbush Green, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. The work covers under-sink grease traps, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks, and the jobs we see most are grease setting in the kitchen pipework and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Commercial kitchens in Hawbush Green
Look up Hawbush Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hawbush Green. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. It’s Braintree council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hawbush Green. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run a kitchen near Cressing station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; William Julien Courtauld Hospital, about 2.7 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Hawbush Green. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Cressing Primary School or anywhere near Hawbush Green, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

What a clean will not put right

- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the quote in Hawbush Green
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. In a small place like Hawbush Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Which council inspects kitchens in Hawbush Green?
Kitchens in Hawbush Green are inspected by Braintree council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
