Grease trap cleaning in Roehampton, Greater London
For grease trap cleaning in Roehampton, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.

- Gurgling from the sink waste
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Grease trap cleaning in Roehampton
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. The work covers pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps, and the jobs we see most are an overdue grease trap and grease setting in the kitchen pipework.
London’s sewers are known for fatbergs, built up from fat, oil and grease washed down drains. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Mention any increase in cooking
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. That depends on how quickly it filled and how busy the kitchen is.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Roehampton
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap, and we clear up before we go. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Roehampton saves time on the night.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe until water cannot get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Why us?

Roehampton: your questions answered
Can you work in Roehampton outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Roehampton keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Does London parking affect a job in Roehampton?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Roehampton makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. If you’re not sure what you have, send us a photo and we’ll confirm.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
There’s no single answer. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills and we’ll advise on timing.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Part by part
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still need regular emptying.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Roehampton?
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Mary's Hospital (about within half a mile west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
