Netherne on-the-Hill grease trap cleaning
We cover Netherne on-the-Hill for grease trap cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- An overdue grease trap
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. It may need a drainage specialist to look further.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage later.
How we handle grease trap cleaning in Netherne on-the-Hill
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. Typical jobs include grease setting in the kitchen pipework and a kitchen drain that smells, on under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps.
Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Leave it or put it right?
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Sinks will not empty, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Netherne on-the-Hill.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What we are called out for in Netherne on-the-Hill
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. In the trap, they cool and separate and the grease layer grows.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- Drains clogged with fat
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
School kitchens, at schools like Coulsdon Sixth Form College for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Netherne on-the-Hill. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Most London kitchens cannot close in the day, so deep cleaning is usually done overnight.

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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Lawrence's Hospital about 1.9 miles east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Netherne on-the-Hill, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
