Grease trap cleaning in Hounslow, done properly
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. If you are dealing with foul odours from the grease trap and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can put it right, from under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and inline grease traps onwards.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. In Hounslow, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually done overnight.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Hounslow kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 313 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 111 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hounslow. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. Food hygiene inspections in Hounslow are the job of Hounslow council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like South Middlesex Hospital about 0.9 miles south-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. For busy kitchens close to Hounslow station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing. Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hounslow may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
Hounslow is about 9 miles west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Whether your site is in the middle of Hounslow or further out, we cover grease trap cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Hounslow is one of 764 towns, villages and districts in Greater London we cover for grease trap cleaning. There’s also a page for London, roughly 11 miles from Hounslow.
All of TW3, TW7 and TW2 is within our area for grease trap cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Streets in the area include New Road, Ivy Road and Bell Road, all of which we cover for grease trap cleaning.

Around Hounslow
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Moon Under Water pub, Kingsley Academy and Inwood Park and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Hounslow station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hounslow
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. For a site in Hounslow, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Take a look at how cleaning jobs are priced and our accreditations.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Hounslow is usually out of hours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
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. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
Part by part
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Grease floats and solids sink.
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Hounslow
Do you work in school kitchens around Hounslow out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 40 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hounslow. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
What do you need to know about parking in Hounslow?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we’re done.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hounslow
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
