CLEARMASTERS
Grease traps for the Broadway
Restaurants and takeaways along Cricklewood Broadway need grease traps emptied regularly. We set up a schedule to suit how busy you are and leave a waste transfer note every time.
Learn moreCricklewood straddles the boundary between Brent and Barnet, with the busy Cricklewood Broadway running through the middle, lined with restaurants, takeaways and shops. Behind it are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, red-brick mansion blocks and, to the north, the industrial and retail areas around Staples Corner and the huge Brent Cross Town regeneration.
Our work here is a mix: grease traps for Broadway kitchens, blocked drains in converted houses and mansion blocks, gullies and interceptors on industrial units, and CCTV surveys for buyers and landlords.
Our crews work in north-west London most days and we answer the phone 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Blocked drains in terraces and mansion blocks
We clear blocked drains with high-pressure jetting and trace which flat or section caused the problem, so managing agents and residents know who needs to act.

Drainage in Cricklewood: what to know
A busy Broadway, old homes and big change to the north.
Broadway kitchens
With so many takeaways and restaurants, fat is a leading cause of blockages. Grease traps protect your drain and the sewer.
Mansion blocks
Shared drains in mansion blocks serve many flats. Regular jetting prevents repeat blockages.
Industrial units
Units with yards and car parks should have interceptors inspected and emptied regularly.
