Grease Trap Cleaning in Newbury Park
Professional grease trap cleaning in and around Newbury Park, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A small trap that fills too quickly
How the job changes from site to site
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly and need regular cleaning.
About our grease trap cleaning in Newbury Park
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. If you are dealing with a small trap that fills too quickly and drains clogged with fat, we can put it right.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. In Newbury Park, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally done overnight.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Newbury Park
Can you work in Newbury Park outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work in school kitchens around Newbury Park out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 46 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Newbury Park. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What do you do with the waste?
We take it away. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with once the clean is done.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Newbury Park is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.

What affects the quote in Newbury Park
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Newbury Park kitchens: local notes
There are about 284 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 200 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Newbury Park, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Food hygiene inspections in Newbury Park are the job of Redbridge council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. Fat from London kitchens contributes to sewer blockages, which is why grease traps need emptying on a schedule.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Goodmayes Hospital, about 1 mile east, is the nearest hospital to Newbury Park. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Valentines Mansion is about 0.9 miles west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Newbury Park Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used straight away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newbury Park
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water won’t drain away and waste water can come back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
