Kitchens in Woodham Mortimer use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks are not needed, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways, and common reasons people get in touch are an overdue grease trap and a routine grease trap service.

How we price grease trap cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
For grease trap cleaning in Woodham Mortimer, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Woodham Mortimer
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in Woodham Mortimer and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. It’s Maldon council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Woodham Mortimer. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Margaret or anywhere in Woodham Mortimer, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. Danbury Place, about 2.7 miles west, is one of the historic houses around Woodham Mortimer; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Baddow Hospital about 4.9 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Different parts, different methods
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Why it’s worth doing now in Woodham Mortimer
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. Cleaning it removes the cause. Planning a trip to Woodham Mortimer ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
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 talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
Woodham Mortimer questions
Can you come to Woodham Mortimer after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Woodham Mortimer needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers Woodham Mortimer?
Food hygiene inspections in Woodham Mortimer are carried out by Maldon council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
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.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
