Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Kenton
In South Kenton, we time grease trap visits so the sinks are not needed. We empty, clean and check the trap, and the waste is taken away. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. We’re often asked to deal with a routine grease trap service and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, on inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. For a kitchen in South Kenton, the work is usually done overnight, between the last service and the first.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

From there, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. In South Kenton, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.

Advice
Part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still need regular emptying.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. The interval is set to suit the trap and the kitchen.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in South Kenton
How do you handle parking and loading in South Kenton?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in South Kenton makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Can you work in South Kenton outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in South Kenton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. None of it goes back into the drains at any point.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. A photo helps us see what’s fitted when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
