About our grease trap cleaning in St Ann's
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. If you have grease setting in the kitchen pipework and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can help, from school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. For a kitchen in St Ann's, the work is normally done overnight, between the last service and the first.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in St Ann's
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Before any visit in St Ann's, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- 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.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. 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.

Why deal with it now?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. A booked night’s work in St Ann's costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
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 grease trap cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Grease trap cleaning in St Ann's: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 435 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 147 takeaways across St Ann's and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Food hygiene inspections in St Ann's are the job of Haringey council’s environmental health team. 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. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach.
Where a church or community hall near St Ann's Church, or anywhere in St Ann's, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like City of London Maternity Hospital about 1.7 miles south-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. School kitchens, at schools like St Ann's CE Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Managing agents and facilities teams in St Ann's
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Common questions in St Ann's
Can you work in St Ann's outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in St Ann's can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can parking be tricky for a job in St Ann's?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each 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.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Part by part
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. With more capacity, they fill more slowly but they still need cleaning.
