Grease trap cleaning in Round Bush, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. We are often asked to deal with foul odours from the grease trap and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, across restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps.
For a kitchen in or near Round Bush, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Round Bush?
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. Solids settle at the bottom of the trap and takes up space.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- An overdue grease trap
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Fair Field Junior School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Round Bush.
- 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.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

What affects the quote in Round Bush
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Questions from Round Bush
Can school kitchens in Round Bush be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 8 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Round Bush. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you get to a site in Round Bush?
Yes, Round Bush is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
While the trap is being cleaned, nothing can drain into it. That is why we time visits around service to keep disruption down.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
