Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Brabourne
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. The work covers under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps, and people most often call us about a small trap that fills too quickly and a larger grease trap that needs emptying.
Somewhere as small as Brabourne, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap won’t fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.

What else we do in Brabourne
How we price grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What we’re called out for in Brabourne
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- An overdue grease trap
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Sinks that drain slowly
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Brabourne Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Brabourne, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

How the visit works
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. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Brabourne before we set off.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Why act early in Brabourne
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. Cleaning it removes the cause. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Brabourne is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Brabourne questions
Can you come to Brabourne after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Brabourne keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Brabourne?
Yes. Brabourne is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It varies. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
