Alperton grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning for Alperton, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Alperton
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you are dealing with an interceptor full of grease and solids and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can put it right.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. In Alperton, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally done overnight.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage normally prevents a blockage down the line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. A full one shows itself with a slow, smelly sink.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. In a London area like Alperton, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
