Grease trap cleaning in Tye 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 before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. The work covers under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps, and the jobs we see most are a slow-draining kitchen sink and a routine grease trap service.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

FAQs for Tye Green
Can you get to a site in Tye Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Tye Green is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Tye Green outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Tye Green can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Do you take the waste away?
We take the grease and solids away with us. You are not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll quote before any work starts.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Do not store things on top of the trap
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Tye Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Tye Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Tye Green. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Environmental health officers from Braintree council inspect food businesses in Tye Green. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like William Julien Courtauld Hospital about 2.3 miles north-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you look after a hall kitchen near St Barnabas or anywhere in Tye Green, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Common problems we fix in Tye Green
If a trap isn’t emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
For schools such as Cressing Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tye Green
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
