Grease trap cleaning in Enfield Chase
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 have gurgling drains in the kitchen and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can help, from pot wash sinks, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways onwards.
Every food business in London is inspected by its local council’s environmental health officers, and walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of the picture. Kitchens in Enfield Chase often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How we price grease trap cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Part by part
Baffles and outlets
Baffles inside the trap slow the water so grease can separate. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we allow for that.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Blockages further down the drainage network
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks

- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Enfield Chase, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency and typically at the worst moment. In Enfield Chase, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why us?

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Keep used oil out of the drains and the trap will not fill as quickly. It makes a real difference.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Booking cleans more often stops it overflowing.
Enfield Chase: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Enfield Chase?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Enfield Chase needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can school kitchens in Enfield Chase be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 32 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Enfield Chase, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
There’s no single answer. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Enfield Chase saves time on the night.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area

Grease trap cleaning around Enfield Chase
Look up Enfield Chase on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 97 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 42 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Enfield Chase. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Food hygiene inspections in Enfield Chase are the job of Enfield council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Michaels Hospital (about 0.7 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Chase Side Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you serve passing trade near Enfield Chase station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.
