How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Eastfields
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you’re dealing with washing-up water that won’t drain away and drains clogged with fat, we can help.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. For a kitchen in Eastfields, the work is normally done overnight, between the last service and the first.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Common questions in Eastfields
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Eastfields?
Kitchens in Eastfields are inspected by Merton council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you work in Eastfields outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Eastfields doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. You will know before the visit.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff do not have to handle it after we have finished.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
It depends where the blockage is. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Every trap is different, so we quote once we know what you have. You get a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Eastfields
A busy kitchen in Eastfields, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An overdue grease trap
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
Hall kitchens near St. Mark's Church or elsewhere in Eastfields may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Why deal with it now?
A dirty grease trap smells. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. In Eastfields, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
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.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Before any visit in Eastfields, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Advice
Eastfields kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 21 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Eastfields. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. It’s Merton council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Eastfields. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. 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 usually done overnight.
Wilson Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Eastfields; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. A summer deep clean suits schools such as St Mark's Church of England Academy, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Eastfields
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
