How we handle grease trap cleaning in Mayfair
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, inline grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and the jobs we see most are a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up.
Every food business in London is inspected by its local council’s environmental health officers, and walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of the picture. Kitchens in Mayfair often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Mayfair
Do you work overnight in Mayfair?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Mayfair can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is parking a problem for work in Mayfair?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you take the waste away?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we’ve finished.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Common problems we fix in Mayfair
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Drains clogged with fat
Hall and church kitchens, near Grosvenor Chapel or anywhere around Mayfair, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
What your quote should include

What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen and check the seal on the lid.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Mayfair
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Grease trap cleaning around Mayfair
There are about 33 food manufacturers and packers within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Mayfair, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where food is made in quantity, grease traps fill faster and need a tighter schedule. It’s Westminster council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mayfair. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach.
If you run a kitchen near Bond Street station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap. A summer deep clean suits schools such as LITE Regal International School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the grease trap cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Mayfair.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- 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.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
