Advice
About our grease trap cleaning in Kelvedon
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Kelvedon, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service so washing up isn’t interrupted. If you are dealing with an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and washing-up water that won’t drain away, we can help, from pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps onwards.
In a smaller place like Kelvedon, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens

Why deal with it now?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- We are fully insured

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Kelvedon
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 pubs and bars in Kelvedon and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Food hygiene inspections in Kelvedon are the job of Braintree council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Kelvedon St Mary's Church of England Primary Academy or anywhere near Kelvedon, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. For a café close to Kelvedon station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush. Where a church or community hall near Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Kelvedon, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Kelvedon: your questions answered
Do you clean school kitchens in Kelvedon in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Kelvedon. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Can the work in Kelvedon be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Typically, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Bigger or overdue traps need more time, and we will tell you in advance.
Do you work in Kelvedon?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Kelvedon.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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.
