What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Berrylands saves time on the night.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Why act early in Berrylands
In Berrylands, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem and typically at the worst moment. In Berrylands, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Grease trap cleaning around Berrylands
There are about 12 food manufacturers and packers within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Berrylands, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For food producers, the grease trap schedule should follow the volume going through it. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day. Kitchens in Berrylands get their food hygiene inspections from Kingston-Upon-Thames 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.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Christ Church CofE Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Historic houses such as Hampton Court Palace (about 2.4 miles west) are part of the area around Berrylands, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Berrylands
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Small amounts soon build up.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
If you run a café or takeaway near Berrylands station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.

Questions from Berrylands
Do you clean school kitchens in Berrylands in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 45 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Berrylands, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who inspects food businesses in Berrylands?

What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean all the common types. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often, and we can shorten it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
