- Scheduled grease trap emptying
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Bedfont.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Bedfont
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps, and the jobs we see most are gurgling drains in the kitchen and scheduled grease trap emptying.
Across London, council environmental health teams inspect food businesses, and walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of the picture. Kitchens in Bedfont often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

For a kitchen in Bedfont or anywhere else, the trap is out of sight and out of mind. Hidden under a sink or in a floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.

- Gurgling from the sink waste
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Washing-up water that will not drain away

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Bedfont
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 11 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Bedfont, up to about a mile and a half out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. It’s Hounslow council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bedfont. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach.
For busy kitchens close to Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Fairholme Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Bedfont questions
Who inspects food businesses in Bedfont?
In Bedfont, it’s Hounslow council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you work overnight in Bedfont?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Do you take the waste away?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It is not poured back down the drain, of course.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Do you cover Bedfont?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Bedfont.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
