Grease trap cleaning in Kingston Vale, done properly
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a larger grease trap that needs emptying and a slow-draining kitchen sink.
Every food business in London is inspected by its local council’s environmental health officers, and the cleanliness of the whole kitchen is part of what they look at. Kitchens in Kingston Vale often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Grease trap cleaning around Kingston Vale
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Kingston Vale 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. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach. Environmental health officers from Kingston-Upon-Thames council inspect food businesses in Kingston Vale. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Southside House is about 1.2 miles south-east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. If you look after a hall kitchen near St John the Baptist or anywhere in Kingston Vale, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Atkinson Morley Hospital about 1 mile south-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Kingston Vale questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Kingston Vale?
In Kingston Vale, it’s Kingston-Upon-Thames council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can the work in Kingston Vale be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Kingston Vale needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often, and we can shorten it.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
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 will say so and suggest a drainage contractor.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Expect the work in Kingston Vale to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Sewer problems outside the premises
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Restaurants and takeaways
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so water flows freely.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens can’t afford a blocked drain. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Do not store things on top of the trap
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
