Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
About our grease trap cleaning in St Osyth
In St Osyth, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t needed. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you have a small trap that fills too quickly and washing-up water that won’t drain away, we can put it right.
In a place like St Osyth, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from St Osyth
Who inspects food businesses in St Osyth?
That’s Tendring council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in St Osyth. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you clean school kitchens in St Osyth in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of St Osyth. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Is St Osyth in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in St Osyth, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Visits to a place like St Osyth are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in St Osyth
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. It’s better to plan the work at a site near St Osyth than wait for a failure.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
