In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Burlington Estate
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Burlington Estate, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. If you have an interceptor full of grease and solids and a slow-draining kitchen sink, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. For a kitchen in Burlington Estate, the work is normally done overnight, between the last service and the first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

When you call or email, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Commercial kitchens in Burlington Estate
Food Standards Agency records list about 3,810 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 374 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Burlington Estate, up to about a mile and a half out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Most London kitchens cannot close in the day, so deep cleaning is normally done overnight. In Burlington Estate, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Westminster council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Burlington House is about 0.1 miles south-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. St James Workhouse, about within half a mile north-east, is the nearest hospital to Burlington Estate; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

What else we do in Burlington Estate
Part by part
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
What we’re called out for in Burlington Estate
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets in the pipework or the drain.
What we are most often called out for:
- A routine grease trap service
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Gurgling from the sink waste
For busy kitchens close to Bond Street station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing.

Questions from Burlington Estate
Can you work in Burlington Estate outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Burlington Estate can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in school kitchens around Burlington Estate out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Burlington Estate, the Food Standards Agency lists about 85 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It varies. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
