Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Kingsland
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. If you are dealing with a small trap that fills too quickly and washing-up water that won’t drain away, we can help.
London’s sewers are known for fatbergs, built up from fat, oil and grease washed down drains. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we’re called out for in Kingsland
A full trap can’t hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Drains clogged with fat
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
For schools such as Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What paperwork you get at the end
Kingsland questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Kingsland?
Kitchens in Kingsland are inspected by Hackney 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.
Do you work at weekends in Kingsland?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Kingsland needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean all the common types. If you are not sure what you have, send us a photo and we will confirm.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. Your staff do not have to handle it once the clean is done.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Kingsland
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Kingsland.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Inline grease traps
Access to an inline trap can be in a floor or cupboard. We ask about access when we quote.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Commercial kitchens in Kingsland
Food Standards Agency data counts about 52 food manufacturers and packers in Kingsland and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Production sites can wash large amounts of fat and oil towards the drain, so traps need emptying to suit the volume. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning. Kitchens in Kingsland get their food hygiene inspections from Hackney council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
For a café close to Dalston Junction station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Sutton House is about 1.1 miles east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
