How we handle grease trap cleaning in Roundbush Green
In Roundbush Green, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. We empty, clean and check the trap, and the waste is taken away. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you’re dealing with foul odours from the grease trap and an overdue grease trap, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps onwards.
Work in a small place like Roundbush Green starts with agreeing a date and access.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Roundbush Green.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Roundbush Green questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Roundbush Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Roundbush Green are carried out by Uttlesford 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 work at weekends in Roundbush Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Roundbush Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What affects the quote in Roundbush Green
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Commercial kitchens in Roundbush Green
In Roundbush Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Uttlesford council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. Roundbush Green, about 28 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Hall kitchens near Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Roundbush Green may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Roundbush Green, such as a historic house like Barrington Hall (about 3.1 miles north-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Rodings Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. With more capacity, they fill more slowly, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
