Surrey · Grease trap cleaning
Heathrow grease trap cleaning
For grease trap cleaning in Heathrow, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A full, neglected grease trap
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Heathrow.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Grease trap cleaning in Heathrow
For kitchens across Heathrow, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks, and the jobs we see most are scheduled grease trap emptying and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time.
Somewhere as small as Heathrow, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
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.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Heathrow: your questions answered
Can you come to Heathrow after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Heathrow needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Heathrow?
That’s Hillingdon council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Heathrow. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Most grease trap cleans take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, including testing. We plan the visit around your service.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we’ll say so so you can call a drainage contractor.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we will plan the visit.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.

What else we do in Heathrow
Commercial kitchens in Heathrow
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 76 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 12 takeaways in Heathrow and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Environmental health officers from Hillingdon council inspect food businesses in Heathrow. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
For busy kitchens close to Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bedfont Primary School or anywhere near Heathrow, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Heathrow
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Grease floats and solids sink.
What we are called out for in Heathrow
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can struggle when cooking increases.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Drains clogged with fat
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Harlington about 1.6 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
