Grease trap cleaning in Paslow Wood Common, done properly
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Paslow Wood Common, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up is not interrupted. Typical jobs include a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, on pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Do not store things on top of the trap
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage later.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Paslow Wood Common
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Paslow Wood Common. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Kitchens in Paslow Wood Common get their food hygiene inspections from Brentwood council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Brentwood Community Hospital, about 4.9 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Paslow Wood Common; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Blackmore Primary School or anywhere near Paslow Wood Common, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Paslow Wood Common questions
Who inspects food businesses in Paslow Wood Common?
Kitchens in Paslow Wood Common are inspected by Brentwood council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you work in Paslow Wood Common outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Paslow Wood Common doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
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.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Get in touch and we’ll send you a fixed quote so you know the cost up front.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Paslow Wood Common
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Paslow Wood Common and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What we are called out for in Paslow Wood Common
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Foul odours from the grease trap
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ingatestone Hall is about 4.6 miles south-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Paslow Wood Common knowing what to expect.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it

What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
