How we handle grease trap cleaning in Walton-on-the-Naze
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. If you have an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a slow-draining kitchen sink, we can help, from school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps onwards.
For a kitchen near Walton-on-the-Naze, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day, and the journey is planned ahead.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What staff can safely do
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A site near Walton-on-the-Naze typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- 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.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
When something else is needed
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Broken pipework below ground
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
