What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Bedford Park saves time on the night.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare

- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Grease trap cleaning in Bedford Park, done properly
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. 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 needs emptying and cleaning. If you are dealing with an interceptor full of grease and solids and sinks that drain slowly, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. For a kitchen in Bedford Park, the work is typically done overnight, between the last service and the first.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Bedford Park
The Food Standards Agency lists about 84 pubs, bars and clubs and about 8 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Bedford Park. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Fat from London kitchens contributes to sewer blockages, which is why grease traps need emptying on a schedule. Food hygiene inspections in Bedford Park are the job of Ealing council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Where a church or community hall near St Peter's, or anywhere in Bedford Park, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Southfield Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection

What we work on in Bedford Park
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
How the job changes from site to site

Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Common questions in Bedford Park
How do you handle parking and loading in Bedford Park?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Can a school kitchen in Bedford Park be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 50 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bedford Park. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Let us know what’s fitted and we will plan around it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Common problems we fix in Bedford Park
Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. When it cools, the grease hardens, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital about 1.5 miles north-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
