Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Seven Kings
In Seven Kings, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked, and the waste is taken away. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you’re dealing with scheduled grease trap emptying and drains that gurgle and bubble, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps onwards.
London’s sewers are known for fatbergs, built up from fat, oil and grease washed down drains. Regular grease trap cleaning keeps a kitchen in Seven Kings from adding to the problem.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval typically suits them.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. Visits are planned between meals.
Commercial kitchens in Seven Kings
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Seven Kings. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach. It’s Redbridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Seven Kings. 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.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Seven Kings
Can parking be tricky for a job in Seven Kings?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Do you work overnight in Seven Kings?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Seven Kings keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. The grease hardens in the pipes, leading to blocked drains and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning won’t do:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Seven Kings is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
