How we handle grease trap cleaning in Broad Street Green
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Broad Street Green, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. We are often asked to deal with a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and foul odours from the grease trap, across kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and restaurants and takeaways.
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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
Commercial kitchens in Broad Street Green
There are about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Broad Street Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Kitchens in Broad Street Green get their food hygiene inspections from Maldon council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Heybridge Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Hall kitchens near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Broad Street Green may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is in Broad Street Green, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks will not empty and waste water can come back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Broad Street Green
Can school kitchens in Broad Street Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Broad Street Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Will you come out to Broad Street Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Broad Street Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Advice
What affects the quote in Broad Street Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
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.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- 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
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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 any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
