About our grease trap cleaning in Radley Green
In Radley Green, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. Typical jobs include a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and scheduled grease trap emptying, across kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks.
Work in a small place like Radley Green starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why deal with it now?
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. In a place like Radley Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Radley Green run smoothly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Radley Green can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you survey before quoting?

Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?

When to call us in Radley Green
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
Chelmsford and Essex Hospital, about 4.8 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Radley Green; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Keep access to the trap clear
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how much the kitchen cooks.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
