Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Never pour used oil down the sink
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 typically prevents a blockage down the line.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broughton
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. If you have drains clogged with fat and gurgling from the sink waste, we can put it right, from school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps onwards.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Broughton are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Broughton
Can you work in Broughton outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Broughton needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can school kitchens in Broughton be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 10 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Broughton. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
As a guide, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Bigger or overdue traps need more time and we’ll say so when we quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you work in Broughton?
Yes. We work in Broughton and across Buckinghamshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What happens if it’s left?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. Even a site near Broughton that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Each visit written up, with photos

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Broken pipework below ground
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
What the work covers

Commercial kitchens in Broughton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Broughton, up to about a mile and a half out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Food hygiene inspections in Broughton are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Hall kitchens near Church of St James or elsewhere in Broughton may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. School kitchens, at schools like Bierton Church of England Combined School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

When to call us in Broughton
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tindal Centre about 1.4 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a smaller place like Broughton, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
