Grease trap cleaning in Notting Dale
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you have sinks that drain slowly and an interceptor full of grease and solids, we can put it right.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. In Notting Dale, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally done overnight.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How we price grease trap cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Notting Dale
There are about 30 food manufacturers and packers across Notting Dale and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where food is made in quantity, grease traps fill faster and need a tighter schedule. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach. In Notting Dale, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Kensington and Chelsea council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
For busy kitchens close to Shepherds Bush station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Princess Louise Hospital (about 0.6 miles north-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Notting Dale saves time on the night.
- 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.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Common questions in Notting Dale
Can you work in Notting Dale outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Notting Dale needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Notting Dale?
Kitchens in Notting Dale are inspected by Kensington and Chelsea council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Do you work in Notting Dale?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Notting Dale included.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll quote before any work starts.
When to call us in Notting Dale
A busy kitchen in Notting Dale, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. Traps sized for lighter use can struggle when cooking increases.

- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Sava or anywhere around Notting Dale, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why act early in Notting Dale
A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Sinks will not empty and waste water can come back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
