Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broad Oak
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. If you have a larger grease trap that needs emptying and sinks that drain slowly, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Broad Oak, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Common questions in Broad Oak
Which environmental health team covers Broad Oak?
Kitchens in Broad Oak are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you work at weekends in Broad Oak?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Broad Oak needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Do you cover Broad Oak?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Broad Oak.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.

What affects the quote in Broad Oak
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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 any work starts.
Commercial kitchens in Broad Oak
There are about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Broad Oak, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Broad Oak. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
School kitchens, at schools like Broad Oak Community Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Hall kitchens near Ebenezer Chapel or elsewhere in Broad Oak may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Bateman's, about 4.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses around Broad Oak; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. Somewhere as small as Broad Oak, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, 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.

Part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. More waste means faster filling.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Grease floats and solids sink.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Broad Oak
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Broad Oak before we set off.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.

How to get a quote
