About our grease trap cleaning in Rush Green
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. The work covers school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen drain that smells and a routine grease trap service.
Work in a small place like Rush Green starts with agreeing a date and access.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. The timing of a visit to Rush Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit

- Tell us where we can park and unload

Rush Green: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Rush Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Rush Green is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Rush Green?
In Rush Green, it’s East Hertfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we will come back with a fixed price.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What we’re called out for in Rush Green
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and fill it from below.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A routine grease trap service

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Rush Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 42 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Rush 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. Food hygiene inspections in Rush Green are the job of East Hertfordshire council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
