Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Kenton
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Kenton, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service so washing up is not interrupted. Common call-outs are for a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, across inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes.
London’s sewers are known for fatbergs, built up from fat, oil and grease washed down drains. Regular grease trap cleaning keeps a kitchen in Kenton from adding to the problem.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Common problems we fix in Kenton
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and fill it from below.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Drains clogged with fat
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A small trap that fills too quickly
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like St Gregory's Catholic Science College for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the price is fixed
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Why act early in Kenton
Wherever the kitchen is in Kenton, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. For a site in Kenton, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. If your building in Kenton has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Kenton
The FSA’s data shows about 24 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in Kenton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. It’s Harrow council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kenton. 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. Most London kitchens cannot close in the day, so deep cleaning is typically done overnight.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Kenton may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. For busy kitchens close to Kenton station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing.
