Grease trap cleaning in Netteswell
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and a bad smell from the sinks or drains.
Work in a smaller place like Netteswell is planned around your opening hours.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Netteswell questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Netteswell?
The local authority for Netteswell is Harlow 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 overnight in Netteswell?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We remove all the waste we take out. It is not poured back down the drain, of course.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Get in touch and we will give you a fixed quote before any work starts.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Broken pipework below ground
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on in Netteswell
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
Part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit, and check the lid and seals.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. More waste means faster filling.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Around Netteswell, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Why deal with it now?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. Cleaning it removes the cause. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Netteswell at a time that suits you.
