What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Grease trap cleaning in Broomhill
In Broomhill, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you are dealing with an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and an overdue grease trap, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Broomhill
Look up Broomhill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Broomhill. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Food hygiene inspections in Broomhill are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 2.5 miles south), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Martins Hospital (about 4.8 miles west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
Broomhill is about 6 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. Whether your site is in the middle of Broomhill or further out, we cover grease trap cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. We cover 922 places across Kent, from busy centres to quieter spots. We also work in Maidstone, about 30 miles from Broomhill.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When to call us in Broomhill
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
What we are most often called out for:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A full, neglected grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
Where a church or community hall near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Broomhill, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Mention any increase in cooking
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage down the line.
Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. They gather grease and debris, so we clean them.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Common questions in Broomhill
Can you come to Broomhill after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Broomhill keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in school kitchens around Broomhill out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Broomhill. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Most grease trap cleans take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, including testing. It’s booked when the sinks are not needed.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Get in touch and we will give you a fixed quote before any work starts.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Broomhill before we set off.
