Grease trap cleaning in Broad Green, done properly
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps, and people most often call us about a larger grease trap that needs emptying and drains clogged with fat.
Somewhere as small as Broad Green, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Broad Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Visits to a village like Broad Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

FAQs for Broad Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Broad Green?
The local authority for Broad Green is Colchester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you work in villages like Broad Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
The sinks that drain into the trap cannot be used while it’s open. That’s why we time visits around service so the kitchen isn’t held up.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What do you do with the waste?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we will plan the visit.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. We give you a fixed price, normally within one working day.
Why act early in Broad Green
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. A fault that closes a site in a village like Broad Green affects everyone who depends on it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:

- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
