About our grease trap cleaning in Chase Cross
For kitchens across Chase Cross, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. Common call-outs are for an overdue grease trap and drains clogged with fat, on kitchen waste pipes, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Chase Cross are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is typically the first sign.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Chase Cross when you book.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What else we do in Chase Cross
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Chase Cross
Can school kitchens in Chase Cross be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 15 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Chase Cross, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Chase Cross?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Chase Cross needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We remove all the waste we take out. None of it goes back into the drains, of course.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you cover Chase Cross?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Chase Cross.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so you don’t lose trade.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Chase Cross kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 12 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Chase Cross. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. In Chase Cross, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Havering council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
For schools such as Bower Park Academy, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays. If you look after a hall kitchen near St James or anywhere in Chase Cross, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

How we price grease trap cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Keep access to the trap clear
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

What we’re most often called out for:
- An overdue grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
