When to call us in Broadgate
For a kitchen in Broadgate 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.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
School kitchens, at schools like Ampfield Church of England Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Grease trap cleaning in Broadgate
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. The work covers under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are an interceptor full of grease and solids and gurgling from the sink waste.
In a village or hamlet like Broadgate, 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 pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Leave it or put it right?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Broadgate. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order.

Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. We fit visits around mealtimes.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. The timing of a visit to Broadgate is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
