Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Keston
For kitchens across Keston, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps, and the jobs we see most are a full, neglected grease trap and a routine grease trap service.
London’s sewers are known for fatbergs, built up from fat, oil and grease washed down drains. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.
We have 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 affects the quote in Keston
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Why act early in Keston
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. Planning ahead in Keston lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keston kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 15 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways in Keston and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach. It’s Bromley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Keston. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
For schools such as Keston Church of England Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Princess Royal University Hospital about 1.1 miles east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still need regular emptying.
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the grease trap cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Keston.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Keston: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a job in Keston?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can you come to Keston after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Keston does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
When to call us in Keston
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Down House is about 2.2 miles south-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.
