How we handle grease trap cleaning in Little London
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Eventually it fills and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you have a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps onwards.
Work in a small place like Little London starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Use strainers in the sink plugholes so less solid waste gets through.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What else we do in Little London
Leave it or put it right?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Sinks won’t empty and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. A planned visit to Little London is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Visits to a village like Little London are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.

What affects the quote in Little London

- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing

- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
