How we handle grease trap cleaning in Broadwater Farm
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. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. Typical jobs include an interceptor full of grease and solids and sinks that drain slowly, across under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. For a kitchen in Broadwater Farm, the work is usually done overnight, between the last service and the first.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Commercial kitchens in Broadwater Farm
Food Standards Agency records include about 49 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Broadwater Farm, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning. Food hygiene inspections in Broadwater Farm are the job of Haringey council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Willow Primary School or anywhere near Broadwater Farm, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like North Middlesex University Hospital about 1.3 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Hall kitchens near St Philip the Apostle or elsewhere in Broadwater Farm may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Broadwater Farm questions

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Broadwater Farm doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Broadwater Farm?
Food hygiene inspections in Broadwater Farm are carried out by Haringey council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
What do you do with the waste?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. With more capacity, they fill more slowly, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

The visit takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Broadwater Farm is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
