Grease trap cleaning in New Addington
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. If you’re dealing with drains clogged with fat and scheduled grease trap emptying, we can help.
Across London, council environmental health teams inspect food businesses, and walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of the picture. Kitchens in New Addington often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

FAQs for New Addington
Which council inspects kitchens in New Addington?
Kitchens in New Addington are inspected by Croydon council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can parking be tricky for a job in New Addington?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. In a London area like New Addington, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
When to call us in New Addington
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Drains clogged with fat
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near New Addington (the nearest hospital is Warlingham Park Hospital, about 1.8 miles south), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Grease trap cleaning in New Addington: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of New Addington. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning. Environmental health officers from Croydon council inspect food businesses in New Addington. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Rowdown Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Edward King and Confessor or elsewhere in New Addington, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
New Addington is about 4 miles south-east of Croydon, in Greater London. Whether your site is in the middle of New Addington or further out, we cover grease trap cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. We cover 764 places across Greater London, large and small. Our London page covers sites nearby (11 miles or so).
Here we cover the CR0 and CR9 postcode area for grease trap cleaning. If you need grease trap cleaning at premises on Bothwell Road, Windham Avenue and Gascoigne Road or a nearby road, we can help.

Near you in New Addington
Typical jobs here are in premises near Meridian High School and Addington Vale. The closest station to New Addington is Hayes (Kent) station, roughly 2.6 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Warlingham Park Hospital (1.8 miles south) and Bethlem Museum of the Mind (3.3 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Nore Hill and Hutchinson's Bank.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem 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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Why it’s worth doing now in New Addington
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
