About our grease trap cleaning in Loughborough Junction
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Loughborough Junction, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. If you’re dealing with drains clogged with fat and a bad smell from the sinks or drains, we can help.
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 Loughborough Junction, the work is normally done overnight, between the last service and the first.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Hot water only moves grease further down
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease trap cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Loughborough Junction.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Common problems we fix in Loughborough Junction
If a trap isn’t emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and on towards the sewer, where it can form blockages.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
If you run a café or takeaway near Loughborough Junction station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Why act early in Loughborough Junction
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
