Commercial kitchens in Broadfield
The FSA’s data shows about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broadfield. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. In Broadfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Crawley council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
School kitchens, at schools like Seymour Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Crawley Hospital, about 1.5 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Broadfield; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. Where a church or community hall near Christ The Lord, or anywhere in Broadfield, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Your opening hours decide when we come to Broadfield, not ours.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Common questions in Broadfield
Which environmental health team covers Broadfield?
In Broadfield, it’s Crawley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you work overnight in Broadfield?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Broadfield keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Why act early in Broadfield
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. A planned visit to Broadfield fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What affects the quote in Broadfield
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
