About our grease trap cleaning in Crews Hill
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. If you are dealing with sinks that drain slowly and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, we can help, from restaurants and takeaways, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps onwards.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. For a kitchen in Crews Hill, the work is normally done overnight, between the last service and the first.
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 are fully insured.

Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Crews Hill, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency and normally at the worst moment. In Crews Hill, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we are done.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens cannot afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Under-sink grease traps
An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Common questions in Crews Hill
What do you need to know about parking in Crews Hill?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Crews Hill, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Can you work in Crews Hill outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Crews Hill keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Is Crews Hill in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Crews Hill included.
Do you take the waste away?
We remove all the waste we take out. None of it goes back into the drains at any point.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Each trap is a little different, but a clean generally takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. We will confirm when we quote.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Crews Hill saves time on the night.
- 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.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Grease trap cleaning in Crews Hill: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in and around Crews Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning. In Crews Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Enfield council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Crews Hill, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. School kitchens, at schools like St John's CofE Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
