Grease trap cleaning in Hanwell, done properly
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. Common call-outs are for drains that gurgle and bubble and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, on school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and restaurants and takeaways.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. In Hanwell, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally done overnight.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Keep access to the trap clear
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we’re done.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
What affects the quote in Hanwell
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we are called out for in Hanwell
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Small amounts soon build up.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A routine grease trap service
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
If you run a café or takeaway near Hanwell station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:

- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber

Commercial kitchens in Hanwell
Food Standards Agency records list about 10 food manufacturers and packers in Hanwell and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A production site’s wash-down water can carry plenty of fat, which a trap or interceptor has to catch. Food hygiene inspections in Hanwell are the job of Ealing council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mellitus or elsewhere in Hanwell, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Hanwell.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
Questions from Hanwell
Which council inspects kitchens in Hanwell?
The local authority for Hanwell is Ealing council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
How do you handle parking and loading in Hanwell?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Hanwell makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Typically, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. A large or very full trap takes longer, and we will tell you in advance.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you cover Hanwell?
Yes. Our technicians work in Hanwell, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
