Do you need grease trap cleaning in Broadstone?
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An overdue grease trap
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A kitchen drain that smells
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Leeds Castle is about 3.7 miles north-west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

About our grease trap cleaning in Broadstone
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps, and the jobs we see most are a slow-draining kitchen sink and a routine grease trap service.
In a village or hamlet like Broadstone, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. In a small place like Broadstone, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Sewer problems outside the premises

Broadstone: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Broadstone?
Food hygiene inspections in Broadstone are carried out by Maidstone council. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Can you work in Broadstone outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Broadstone needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
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’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. You’re not left with anything to dispose of when we go.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean all the common types. A photo helps us see what’s fitted when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.

Kitchens in Broadstone get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Somewhere like Broadstone, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How we price grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
