About our grease trap cleaning in Kensal Green
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. Common call-outs are for an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and washing-up water that won’t drain away, across restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens.
Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
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, next to our reports.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Commercial kitchens in Kensal Green
There are about 757 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 247 takeaways in and around Kensal Green, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Environmental health officers from Brent council inspect food businesses in Kensal Green. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. Fat from London kitchens contributes to sewer blockages, which is why grease traps need emptying on a schedule.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Princess Louise Hospital about 0.7 miles south, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Martin or elsewhere in Kensal Green, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Mention any increase in cooking
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to investigate.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and we clear up before we go. In Kensal Green, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Kensal Green?
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A full, neglected grease trap
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Sinks that drain slowly
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Princess Frederica CofE Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
