Hatton: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Hatton?
Food hygiene inspections in Hatton are carried out by Hounslow council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can you work in Hatton outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Hatton can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Typically, it takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Bigger or overdue traps need more time, and we will tell you in advance.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Do you take the waste away?
We remove all the waste we take out. It is not poured back down the drain, of course.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Grease trap cleaning in Hatton, done properly
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. We are often asked to deal with gurgling drains in the kitchen and an overdue grease trap, on school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks.
Across London, council environmental health teams inspect food businesses, and the cleanliness of the whole kitchen is part of what they look at. Kitchens in Hatton often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.
A written report with pictures 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.

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or between meal services.
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. They hold more grease and solids but they still need cleaning.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Hatton is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. That only moves the grease further down the pipe, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
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 go through it with you.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Hatton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 food manufacturers and packers across Hatton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Food production can send a lot of fat, oil and grease towards the drains, so traps and interceptors need emptying on a schedule. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning. In Hatton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hounslow council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Osterley House is about 3.4 miles north-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere in Hatton, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
