About our grease trap cleaning in Stambourne Green
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. The work covers inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens, and the jobs we see most are a full, neglected grease trap and a bad smell from the sinks or drains.
Work in a small place like Stambourne Green starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Stambourne Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Common questions in Stambourne Green
Do you work at weekends in Stambourne Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Stambourne Green can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Stambourne Green?
In Stambourne Green, it’s Braintree council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. You’re not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Sewer problems outside the premises
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Stambourne Green
What happens if it’s left?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction as part of a clean kitchen. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Stambourne Green is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Stambourne Green
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we are done.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
