How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. They gather grease and debris, so we clean them.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
Grease trap cleaning in High Brooms, done properly
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. We’re often asked to deal with an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a kitchen drain that smells, across kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps.
In a smaller place like High Brooms, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Grease trap cleaning in High Brooms: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 24 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of High Brooms. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in High Brooms get their food hygiene inspections from Tunbridge Wells council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall kitchens near St Matthew's Church or elsewhere in High Brooms may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. For a café close to High Brooms station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush.

Advice
What we’re called out for in High Brooms
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Drains clogged with fat
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A kitchen drain that smells
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Kent and Sussex Hospital (about 1.2 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Broken pipework below ground
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Pot wash sinks

Leave it or put it right?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Fully insured

High Brooms questions
Do you work overnight in High Brooms?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in High Brooms doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like High Brooms?
Yes, High Brooms is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
There’s no single answer. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we’ll say so and suggest a drainage contractor.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
No two traps are quite the same, so we price each one individually. You get a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
