Grease trap cleaning in Broad Street
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. Typical jobs include drains clogged with fat and sinks that drain slowly, across restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes.
Somewhere as small as Broad Street, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When to call us in Broad Street
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An overdue grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A routine grease trap service
KIMS hospital, about 2.9 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Broad Street; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

How we price grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why act early in Broad Street
In Broad Street, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. A blocked drain is an emergency, often at a busy time. A fault that closes a site in a village like Broad Street affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Common questions in Broad Street
Can the work in Broad Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Broad Street needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Will you come out to Broad Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Broad Street is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
