Grease trap cleaning in Kevington, done properly
For kitchens across Kevington, 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 kitchen waste pipes, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps, and the jobs we see most are a bad smell from the sinks or drains and a full, neglected grease trap.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. For a kitchen in Kevington, the work is typically done overnight, between the last service and the first.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as 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.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Kevington
Can the work in Kevington be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Kevington needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers Kevington?
The local authority for Kevington is Bromley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
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.
Do you work in Kevington?
Yes. We work in Kevington and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we’ll say so so you can call a drainage contractor.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What do you do with the waste?
We take it away. Your staff do not have to handle it once the clean is done.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep access to the trap clear
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
Why act early in Kevington
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. Cleaning it removes the cause. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What you get with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Fully insured
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Commercial kitchens in Kevington
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Kevington. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Kevington are the job of Bromley council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. Most London kitchens can’t close in the day, so deep cleaning is typically done overnight.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Orpington Hospital, about 2.4 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Kevington. If you look after a hall kitchen near Unity Church or anywhere in Kevington, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Kevington?
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Small amounts soon build up.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A routine grease trap service
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Manor Oak Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Kevington is typically out of hours.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
