About our grease trap cleaning in Nash
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. The work covers under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens, and people most often call us about a routine grease trap service and an overdue grease trap.
Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. Regular grease trap cleaning keeps a kitchen in Nash from adding to the problem.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Nash: your questions answered
Can you come to Nash after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Does London parking affect a job in Nash?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What do you do with the waste?
We take it away. Your staff don’t have to handle it after we have finished.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
Grease trap cleaning around Nash
Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 13 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Nash. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Fat from London kitchens contributes to sewer blockages, which is why grease traps need emptying on a schedule. Environmental health officers from Bromley council inspect food businesses in Nash. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Down House, about 2.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses around Nash; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. School kitchens, at schools like Wickham Common Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Part by part
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Nash is no exception.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Nash, a regular grease trap clean is a small, planned job. A blocked drain is an emergency and normally at the worst moment. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
