About our grease trap cleaning in Bromley
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. 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. If you have a kitchen drain that smells and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. For a kitchen in Bromley, the work is usually done overnight, between the last service and the first.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Bromley
Which council inspects kitchens in Bromley?
Kitchens in Bromley are inspected by Tower Hamlets council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you work at weekends in Bromley?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Bromley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll quote before any work starts.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Is Bromley in your area?
Yes. We cover Bromley and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bromley
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. A busy site in Bromley builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Photo reports with every job
- In business since 2009
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Grease trap cleaning in Bromley: local notes
Look up Bromley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 543 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 199 takeaways and sandwich shops in Bromley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Food hygiene inspections in Bromley are the job of Tower Hamlets council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Bromley (the nearest hospital is St Clement's Hospital, about 0.5 miles west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Sutton House is about 2.2 miles north-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Bromley and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. In a London area like Bromley, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Hot water only moves grease further down
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
What we’re called out for in Bromley
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Bow Church or elsewhere in Bromley, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
