Grease trap cleaning in Broom Street, done properly
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. If you have washing-up water that won’t drain away and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, we can put it right, from restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps onwards.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning

Managing agents and facilities teams in Broom Street
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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 the report can go to both.
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. A fault that closes a site in a village like Broom Street affects everyone who depends on it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. The timing of a visit to Broom Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- 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.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that serve set mealtimes fill their traps more steadily. A regular interval suits them well.
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.

What we’re called out for in Broom Street
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Graveney Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
