About our grease trap cleaning in Canons Park
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Eventually it fills and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you have foul odours from the grease trap and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
Across London, council environmental health teams inspect food businesses, and the cleanliness of the whole kitchen is part of what they look at. Kitchens in Canons Park often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

FAQs for Canons Park
What do you need to know about parking in Canons Park?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Canons Park makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Which council inspects kitchens in Canons Park?
Kitchens in Canons Park are inspected by Harrow council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
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. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Different parts, different methods
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit, and check the lid and seals.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. A regular interval suits them well.
Canons Park kitchens: local notes
There are about 4 food manufacturers and packers in and around Canons Park, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For food producers, the grease trap schedule should follow the volume going through it. Food hygiene inspections in Canons Park are the job of Harrow 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. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Camrose Primary With Nursery, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Canons Park (the nearest hospital is Edgware Community Hospital, about 0.8 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
Canons Park is about 1 mile east of Stanmore, in Greater London.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In a London area like Canons Park, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
There’s no standard 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 start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What staff can safely do
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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. The lasting fix starts with the trap. It’s better booked as a planned job in Canons Park than handled as an emergency.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Common problems we fix in Canons Park
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A kitchen drain that smells
Hall kitchens near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Canons Park may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The number of sites or systems

A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
