Grease trap cleaning in Green Street Green
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. The work covers inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are gurgling from the sink waste and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up.
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 Green Street Green get in touch.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean won’t put right

- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Green Street Green is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Grease trap cleaning in Green Street Green: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Green Street Green. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Food hygiene inspections in Green Street Green are the job of Bromley council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Green Street Green (the nearest hospital is Orpington Hospital, about 0.8 miles north-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. If you serve passing trade near Chelsfield station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.

Questions from Green Street Green
What do you need to know about parking in Green Street Green?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Green Street Green, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Can the work in Green Street Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Green Street Green can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you cover Green Street Green?
Yes. Green Street Green is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Green Street Green
Hot washing-up water keeps grease liquid for a while. Once it cools, it sets, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Green Street Green Primary School or anywhere near Green Street Green, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. In Green Street Green, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
