Greater London · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Lampton, Greater London
Emptying and cleaning of under-sink and inline grease traps in commercial kitchens for commercial sites in Lampton and across Greater London. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Sinks that drain slowly
- Drains clogged with fat
- An overdue grease trap
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Never pour used oil down the sink
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Grease trap cleaning in Lampton
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps, and the jobs we see most are an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a kitchen drain that smells.
Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Lampton questions
How do you handle parking and loading in Lampton?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Do you work at weekends in Lampton?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Lampton can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How do you 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.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Lampton?
If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
For schools such as Alexandra Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lampton

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Lampton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 food manufacturers and packers within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lampton. Where food is made in quantity, grease traps fill faster and need a tighter schedule. Environmental health officers from Hounslow council inspect food businesses in Lampton. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. Fat from London kitchens contributes to sewer blockages, which is why grease traps need emptying on a schedule.
Where a church or community hall near St Luke, or anywhere in Lampton, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you serve passing trade near Hounslow station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.

- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber

What the work covers
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Expect the work in Lampton to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- 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.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lampton
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. For a site in Lampton, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
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, alongside our reports.
