Grease trap cleaning in Navestock Side
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. If you’re dealing with a kitchen drain that smells and gurgling drains in the kitchen, we can help.
Work in a small place like Navestock Side starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease trap cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. The timing of a visit to Navestock Side is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. In Navestock Side, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Brentwood council.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Common questions in Navestock Side
Do you work at weekends in Navestock Side?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Navestock Side does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Navestock Side within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Navestock Side is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What a clean will not put right
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
