Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sibley's Green
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you have an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens onwards.
Work in a small place like Sibley's Green starts with agreeing a date and access.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, 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.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. The timing of a visit to Sibley's Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Sibley's Green
For a kitchen in Sibley's Green or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Horham Hall is about 1.9 miles west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

Grease trap cleaning around Sibley's Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Sibley's Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Food hygiene inspections in Sibley's Green are the job of Uttlesford council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Putteridge High School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Why deal with it now?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
