Grease trap cleaning in Perivale, done properly
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. If you are dealing with an interceptor full of grease and solids and a slow-draining kitchen sink, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. In Perivale, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually done overnight.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
Common questions in Perivale
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Perivale?
The local authority for Perivale is Ealing council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you clean school kitchens in Perivale in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Perivale, the Food Standards Agency lists about 35 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
It depends where the blockage is. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Grease trap cleaning in Perivale: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 15 food manufacturers and packers across Perivale and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where food is made in quantity, grease traps fill faster and need a tighter schedule. In Perivale, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ealing council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. Most London kitchens can’t close in the day, so deep cleaning is usually done overnight.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Mary with St. Nicholas - Perivale or elsewhere in Perivale, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. If you serve passing trade near South Greenford station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.

Common problems we fix in Perivale
If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A full, neglected grease trap
Clementine Churchill Hospital, about 1.9 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Perivale; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

A blocked drain can stop a kitchen in its tracks. Water will not drain away, and dirty water can back up. Cleaning the grease trap on time helps prevent it. In Perivale, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
