About our grease trap cleaning in North Wembley
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. Typical jobs include an overdue grease trap and an interceptor full of grease and solids, across school and care home kitchens, pot wash sinks and under-sink 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 have been trading since 2009, and we are 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Commercial kitchens in North Wembley
Food Standards Agency records list about 204 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 206 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central North Wembley. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach. Kitchens in North Wembley get their food hygiene inspections from Brent council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Clementine Churchill Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to North Wembley. If you run a kitchen near Wembley Central station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap. For schools such as Park Lane Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. In North Wembley, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen, and check the lid and seals.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks aren’t in use so you do not lose trade.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease trap cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Broken pipework below ground
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
North Wembley questions
Can a school kitchen in North Wembley be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 21 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of North Wembley. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in North Wembley?
Kitchens in North Wembley are inspected by Brent council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. It is not poured back down the drain, of course.
Do the sinks have to be out of use during the clean?
Just the sinks that drain into the trap, and only while we work. We plan the visit for a quieter time where we can.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
