Greater London · Grease trap cleaning
Osterley grease trap cleaning
Emptying and cleaning of under-sink and inline grease traps in commercial kitchens for commercial sites in Osterley and across Greater London. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Drains clogged with fat
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Mention any increase in cooking
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. We run water through to check it drains before we go.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Osterley
Kitchens in Osterley use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks are not needed so washing up is not interrupted. The work covers pot wash sinks, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. For a kitchen in Osterley, the work is typically done overnight, between the last service and the first.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Osterley
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Osterley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Osterley?
In Osterley, it’s Hounslow council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you come to Osterley after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Osterley needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
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 where they can be found quickly.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
How we price grease trap cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- A unit that can’t cope with the kitchen’s output
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
Grease trap cleaning around Osterley
The Food Standards Agency lists about 33 pubs, bars and clubs and about 11 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Osterley. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach. Food hygiene inspections in Osterley are the job of Hounslow council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Hall and church kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Osterley, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you run a café or takeaway near Isleworth station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning. West Middlesex University Hospital, about 1.3 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Osterley; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease trap cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Osterley.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. A busy site in Osterley builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
