Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broadwater
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. Typical jobs include a routine grease trap service and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, across school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways.

FAQs for Broadwater
Which council inspects kitchens in Broadwater?
That is Worthing council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Broadwater. 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 school kitchens in Broadwater be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 12 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Broadwater, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we will plan the visit.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Tell us when your site near Broadwater is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Commercial kitchens in Broadwater
Food Standards Agency data counts about 9 food manufacturers and packers within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broadwater. For food producers, the grease trap schedule should follow the volume going through it. Environmental health officers from Worthing council inspect food businesses in Broadwater. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Broadwater (the nearest hospital is Worthing Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. Hall kitchens near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Broadwater may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Broadwater CofE Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to investigate.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
