How we handle grease trap cleaning in Pinner Green
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you are dealing with an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and an overdue grease trap, we can help.
Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. Regular grease trap cleaning keeps a kitchen in Pinner Green from adding to the problem.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Pinner Green questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Pinner Green?
In Pinner Green, it’s Harrow council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you work at weekends in Pinner Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Pinner Green keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
No two traps are quite the same, so we price each one individually. You get a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It’s the single easiest way to help.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
Leave it or put it right?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls until water cannot get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Grease trap cleaning in Pinner Green: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pinner Green. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach. Environmental health officers from Harrow council inspect food businesses in Pinner Green. 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.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Pinner Green, such as a historic house like Headstone Manor (about 1.7 miles east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. For schools such as Harlyn Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Northwood and Pinner Cottage Hospital, about 0.9 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Pinner Green.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Pinner Green.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
