About our grease trap cleaning in Ickenham
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. We’re often asked to deal with a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, on pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. For a kitchen in Ickenham, the work is usually done overnight, between the last service and the first.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Ickenham
How do you handle parking and loading in Ickenham?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Ickenham, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Which environmental health team covers Ickenham?
Kitchens in Ickenham are inspected by Hillingdon council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
The sinks that drain into the trap can’t be used while it’s open. That’s why we time visits around service so the kitchen isn’t held up.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Grease trap cleaning in Ickenham: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 31 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ickenham. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning. In Ickenham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hillingdon council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you serve passing trade near West Ruislip station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Giles' Church or elsewhere in Ickenham, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. School kitchens, at schools like The Douay Martyrs Catholic School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Ickenham, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem, often at a busy time. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
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 any work starts.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In a London area like Ickenham, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos 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.
Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
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.
How we price grease trap cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
For grease trap cleaning in Ickenham, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
