How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Broad Oak, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broad Oak
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. If you’re dealing with an interceptor full of grease and solids and drains clogged with fat, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Broad Oak, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps

Common questions in Broad Oak
Can you come to Broad Oak after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Broad Oak keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Broad Oak within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Broad Oak included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
An overfull trap stops separating grease. The result is slow drains, foul odours and eventually a blockage.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
How we price grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What else we do in Broad Oak
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
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.

Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. In Broad Oak, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Hot water only moves grease further down
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Broad Oak?
For a kitchen in Broad Oak or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
