About our grease trap cleaning in Broomfield
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you’re dealing with a full, neglected grease trap and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, we can help, from restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Broomfield, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Mention any increase in cooking
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.

Why act early in Broomfield
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. A planned visit to Broomfield is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

When to call us in Broomfield
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and fill it from below.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like KIMS hospital about 4.5 miles north-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed

What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so water flows freely.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
