About our grease trap cleaning in Enfield Highway
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. Common call-outs are for a larger grease trap that needs emptying and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, on kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. In Enfield Highway, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically done overnight.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Enfield Highway kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 24 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Enfield Highway. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning. Kitchens in Enfield Highway get their food hygiene inspections from Enfield council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you look after a hall kitchen near St James' Church or anywhere in Enfield Highway, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. For schools such as Enfield Heights Academy, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.

How we price grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
FAQs for Enfield Highway
Who inspects food businesses in Enfield Highway?
That is Enfield council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Enfield Highway. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you clean school kitchens in Enfield Highway in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Enfield Highway, the Food Standards Agency lists about 49 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Enfield Highway is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t 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.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
What we’re called out for in Enfield Highway

Look out for these warning signs:

- A full, neglected grease trap
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- A small trap that fills too quickly
If you run a kitchen near Brimsdown station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.
