Common questions in Motspur Park
Which environmental health team covers Motspur Park?
The local authority for Motspur Park is Kingston-Upon-Thames council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you work in school kitchens around Motspur Park out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 27 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Motspur Park. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan the visit.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Motspur Park
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. If you are dealing with an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and drains that gurgle and bubble, we can help.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. In Motspur Park, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally done overnight.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Motspur Park is normally out of hours.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Mention any increase in cooking
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site when we’re done.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Broken pipework below ground
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Grease trap cleaning around Motspur Park
Food Standards Agency data counts about 8 food manufacturers and packers within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Motspur Park. A production site’s wash-down water can carry plenty of fat, which a trap or interceptor has to catch. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day. Kitchens in Motspur Park get their food hygiene inspections from Kingston-Upon-Thames council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church New Malden or elsewhere in Motspur Park, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Atkinson Morley Hospital (about 0.8 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. School kitchens, at schools like St Matthew's CofE Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Why act early in Motspur Park
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. It just shifts the grease further along to set somewhere harder to reach. The lasting fix starts with the trap. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
