When to call us in Boyton Cross
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Drains clogged with fat
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- An overdue grease trap
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Broomfield Hospital about 3.6 miles east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of insurance
About our grease trap cleaning in Boyton Cross
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. If you’re dealing with a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and a routine grease trap service, we can help.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Boyton Cross run smoothly.

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Boyton Cross
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water can’t get through. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. In a small place like Boyton Cross, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
