Greater London · Grease trap cleaning
Brunswick Park grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning across Brunswick Park and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Gurgling from the sink waste
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Brunswick Park
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a small trap that fills too quickly.
Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. Regular grease trap cleaning keeps a kitchen in Brunswick Park from adding to the problem.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

FAQs for Brunswick Park
Does London parking affect a job in Brunswick Park?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Brunswick Park, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Do you work overnight in Brunswick Park?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Brunswick Park keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
How we price grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Part by part
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Brunswick Park.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Grease trap cleaning in Brunswick Park: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 161 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 65 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Brunswick Park. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Fat from London kitchens contributes to sewer blockages, which is why grease traps need emptying on a schedule. Food hygiene inspections in Brunswick Park are the job of Barnet council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox School or anywhere near Brunswick Park, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you look after a hall kitchen near Oakleigh Community Church or anywhere in Brunswick Park, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

What we are called out for in Brunswick Park
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets in the pipework or the drain.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Coppetts Wood Hospital about 1.7 miles south, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
