Grease trap cleaning in Ramsden Bellhouse, done properly
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Ramsden Bellhouse, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks are not needed, so the kitchen keeps running. If you’re dealing with drains clogged with fat and a full, neglected grease trap, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Ramsden Bellhouse starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we are done.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Ramsden Bellhouse run smoothly.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- 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
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Ramsden Bellhouse questions
Can you come to Ramsden Bellhouse after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can a school kitchen in Ramsden Bellhouse be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Ramsden Bellhouse, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often, and we can shorten it.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Typically, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Bigger or overdue traps need more time and we will say so when we quote.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Why deal with it now?
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Ramsden Bellhouse rarely gets looked at unless someone books 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.
