What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Grease trap cleaning in Broomfield, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. If you are dealing with a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and drains clogged with fat, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
For a kitchen near Broomfield, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day, and the journey is planned ahead.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Broomfield: your questions answered
Can the work in Broomfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Broomfield does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Broomfield?
In Broomfield, it’s Chelmsford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you cover Broomfield?
Yes. Our technicians work in Broomfield, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

Part by part
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks aren’t in use so you don’t lose trade.
Keeping the system healthy
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
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Do not store things on top of the trap
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Your opening hours decide when we come to Broomfield, not ours.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
