What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Grease trap cleaning in Connaught Village, done properly
In Connaught Village, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you’re dealing with gurgling from the sink waste and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, we can help, from restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
Across London, council environmental health teams inspect food businesses, and walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of the picture. Kitchens in Connaught Village often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Connaught Village and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
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 on a regular cycle.
Part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. More waste means faster filling.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. We fit visits around mealtimes.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. In Connaught Village, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Common questions in Connaught Village
Can a school kitchen in Connaught Village be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Connaught Village, the Food Standards Agency lists about 78 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Connaught Village?
Food hygiene inspections in Connaught Village are carried out by Westminster council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Hot water only moves grease further down
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage typically prevents a blockage down the line.
What a clean won’t put right
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Connaught Village
There are about 3,027 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 262 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Connaught Village, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Food hygiene inspections in Connaught Village are the job of Westminster council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. Most London kitchens can’t close in the day, so deep cleaning is typically done overnight.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Connaught Village (the nearest hospital is Fortius Clinic, about 0.6 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School or anywhere near Connaught Village, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Connaught Village, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
