Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Langdon Hills
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. If you have a kitchen drain that smells and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps onwards.
In a place like Langdon Hills, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Advice
Langdon Hills kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 26 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 28 sandwich bars and takeaways in Langdon Hills and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Food hygiene inspections in Langdon Hills are the job of Basildon council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basildon University Hospital about 1.4 miles east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Where a church or community hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Langdon Hills, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning

- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems

- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Grease set hard in the drain run
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
