About our grease trap cleaning in Moor Park
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that’s cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks, and people most often call us about a full, neglected grease trap and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. For a kitchen in Moor Park, the work is normally done overnight, between the last service and the first.
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, ready for your insurer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Moor Park and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Never pour used oil down the sink
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
What else we do in Moor Park
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Broken pipework below ground
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Moor Park
The FSA’s data shows about 8 pubs, bars and clubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Moor Park. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Food hygiene inspections in Moor Park are the job of Hillingdon council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Mount Vernon Hospital, about 0.7 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Moor Park. Hall and church kitchens, near Holy Trinity Church or anywhere around Moor Park, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. A summer deep clean suits schools such as St Martins School Northwood, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Questions from Moor Park
Do you clean school kitchens in Moor Park in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 14 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Moor Park. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Moor Park?
That’s Hillingdon council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Moor Park. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
We remove all the waste we take out. It isn’t poured back down the drain, of course.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills, then suggest a schedule.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
How we price grease trap cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Moor Park, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem, often at a busy time. Planning ahead in Moor Park lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Moor Park.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
