Grease trap cleaning for sites in Boreham Street

Why act early in Boreham Street

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Boreham Street

A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. We’re often asked to deal with a larger grease trap that needs emptying and washing-up water that won’t drain away, across school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps.

Somewhere as small as Boreham Street, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Between visits

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Hot water only moves grease further down
  • Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
  • Don’t store things on top of the trap
  • Keep strainers in every sink

We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.

Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.

When to call us in Boreham Street

A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.

What we’re most often called out for:

  • An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
  • A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
  • A routine grease trap service
  • Gurgling drains in the kitchen

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Amberstone Hospital about 4 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Questions to ask before booking

FAQs for Boreham Street

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Boreham Street?

Food hygiene inspections in Boreham Street are carried out by Wealden council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.

Do you work at weekends in Boreham Street?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Boreham Street can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.

Which sectors do you work in?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

Do we need to close while you work?

Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?

In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.

What paperwork should we keep on file?

Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.

What does TR19 mean?

A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

The process

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Boreham Street knowing what to expect.

  1. We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
  2. We open the trap and look at its condition.
  3. We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
  4. We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
  5. We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.

Preparing for the visit

  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Clear the space around the work
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use

For landlords and multi-site operators

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks around the sink
  • Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
  • Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on in Boreham Street

  • Pot wash sinks
  • Kitchen waste pipes
  • School and care home kitchens
  • Inline grease traps
  • Restaurants and takeaways

Part by part

Inline grease traps

Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.

Grease interceptors

Interceptors take longer to clean and we allow for that.
