- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. In Paddington Green, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one

About our grease trap cleaning in Paddington Green
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you have an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and drains clogged with fat, we can put it right, from school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps onwards.
Across London, council environmental health teams inspect food businesses, and walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of the picture. Kitchens in Paddington Green often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Paddington Green: your questions answered
Do you clean school kitchens in Paddington Green in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 92 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Paddington Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Paddington Green?
In Paddington Green, it’s Westminster council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you work in Paddington Green?
Yes. We cover Paddington Green and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
That depends on the cause. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What happens if it’s left?
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Rotting food and grease give off foul odours and the smell carries. Cleaning it removes the cause. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
Grease trap cleaning in Paddington Green: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 1,735 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 150 takeaways across Paddington Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Kitchens in Paddington Green get their food hygiene inspections from Westminster council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day.
If you serve passing trade near London Paddington station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks. If you look after a hall kitchen near St Mary on Paddington Green Church or anywhere in Paddington Green, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Paddington Green (the nearest hospital is Maida Vale Hospital for Nervous Diseases, about 0.5 miles north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
Fat that escapes the trap hardens in the pipework. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
