Grease trap cleaning in Grange Park
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Eventually it fills and has to be emptied and cleaned. Common call-outs are for drains that gurgle and bubble and a small trap that fills too quickly, across inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes.
Across London, council environmental health teams inspect food businesses, and the cleanliness of the whole kitchen is part of what they look at. A deep clean ahead of an inspection, or after one, is a common reason kitchens in Grange Park get in touch.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Grange Park
There are about 138 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 53 sandwich bars and takeaways in Grange Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day. Food hygiene inspections in Grange Park are the job of Enfield council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
For busy kitchens close to Grange Park station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary Magdalene or anywhere in Grange Park, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Why it’s worth doing now in Grange Park

What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They hold more than under-sink units but still need regular emptying.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. They often need the most frequent cleaning.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Grange Park

- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Grange Park
Who inspects food businesses in Grange Park?
Food hygiene inspections in Grange Park are carried out by Enfield council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you work in school kitchens around Grange Park out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 30 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Grange Park, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We clean all the common types. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo and we will confirm.
Do you take the waste away?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and we clear up before we go. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Grange Park is no exception.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

When it’s something else
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Broken pipework below ground
