Grease trap cleaning in Newney Green, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. Typical jobs include drains clogged with fat and a full, neglected grease trap, across under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks.
Work in a small place like Newney Green starts with agreeing a date and access.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Newney Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

- Plumbing leaks around the sink

Common questions in Newney Green
Can school kitchens in Newney Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Newney Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Newney Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Newney Green are carried out by Chelmsford council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Is Newney Green in your area?
Yes. We work in Newney Green and across Essex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
Just the sinks that drain into the trap, and only while we work. We plan the visit for a quieter time where we can.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Newney Green
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Leave it or put it right?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water cannot get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. It’s simpler to plan the work at Newney Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us

- Full insurance on every job

What your team can do, and what needs us
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. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Newney Green
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs, bars and clubs registered across Newney Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. In Newney Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chelmsford council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
School kitchens, at schools like Hylands School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Newney Green, such as a historic house like Hylands (about 2.7 miles south-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.
