About our grease trap cleaning in Norbiton
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills and suggest an interval that suits. We are often asked to deal with sinks that drain slowly and drains clogged with fat, across restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. For a kitchen in Norbiton, the work is usually done overnight, between the last service and the first.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Common problems we fix in Norbiton
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
What we are most often called out for:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Drains clogged with fat
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
A summer deep clean suits schools such as St Paul's CofE Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
What to look for in a quote
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a survey comes first
- When the next visit should be, and why
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

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.
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 pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
What else we do in Norbiton
Norbiton kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 14 food manufacturers and packers within about 1.5 miles of central Norbiton. Where food is made in quantity, grease traps fill faster and need a tighter schedule. In Norbiton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Kingston-Upon-Thames council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. Fat from London kitchens contributes to sewer blockages, which is why grease traps need emptying on a schedule.
Where a church or community hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Norbiton, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. Kingston Hospital, about under half a mile north, is the nearest hospital to Norbiton; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink units are easy to forget. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Norbiton
What do you need to know about parking in Norbiton?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Do you work at weekends in Norbiton?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Norbiton needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we’ll plan the visit.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will quote so you know the cost up front.

What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. For a job in Norbiton, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- 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.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
