Greater London · Grease trap cleaning
Parsons Green grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Parsons Green. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. It may need a drainage specialist to investigate.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage typically prevents a blockage down the line.
Grease trap cleaning in Parsons Green
Kitchens in Parsons Green use us for grease trap cleaning, from small under-sink units to inline traps and interceptors. We come when the sinks aren’t needed, so the kitchen keeps running. Typical jobs include a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and an overdue grease trap, across kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. For a kitchen in Parsons Green, the work is usually done overnight, between the last service and the first.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor

How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. In Parsons Green, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- 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.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Parsons Green: your questions answered
Does London parking affect a job in Parsons Green?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Do you clean school kitchens in Parsons Green in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Parsons Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 62 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you cover Parsons Green?
Yes. Parsons Green is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
Grease escapes into the drains when the trap is full. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Keeping the trap clean stops that happening.
Leave it or put it right?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. A clean trap takes the source away. In Parsons Green, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Parsons Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 122 pubs, bars and clubs and about 46 hotels and B&Bs registered in and around Parsons Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach. Kitchens in Parsons Green get their food hygiene inspections from Hammersmith and Fulham council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Lady Margaret School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run a café or takeaway near Imperial Wharf station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.

Common problems we fix in Parsons Green
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An overdue grease trap
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A routine grease trap service
- Drains clogged with fat
If you look after a hall kitchen near St Dionis or anywhere in Parsons Green, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
Before you book anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
