Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hampton
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Hampton, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks are not needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. The work covers inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens, and the jobs we see most are an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and foul odours from the grease trap.
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. For a kitchen in Hampton, the work is typically done overnight, between the last service and the first.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted

- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Why act early in Hampton
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water will not drain away and waste water can come back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. In Hampton, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- A fixed price before any work starts
- One number for every site across the South East and London
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Hampton saves time on the night.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Part by part
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.

Grease trap cleaning in Hampton: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 food manufacturers and packers in Hampton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where food is made in quantity, grease traps fill faster and need a tighter schedule. It’s Richmond-Upon-Thames council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hampton. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned. Most London kitchens can’t close in the day, so deep cleaning is usually done overnight.
Where a church or community hall near All Saints' Hampton, or anywhere in Hampton, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Hampton (the nearest hospital is Teddington Memorial Hospital, about 1.5 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. For busy kitchens close to Hampton station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing.

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
