How we handle grease trap cleaning in The Hyde
For kitchens across The Hyde, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. We’re often asked to deal with a full, neglected grease trap and washing-up water that won’t drain away, on kitchen waste pipes, pot wash sinks and under-sink grease traps.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. In The Hyde, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally done overnight.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Questions from The Hyde
Which environmental health team covers The Hyde?
The local authority for The Hyde is Brent council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you work in The Hyde outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in The Hyde doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
That depends on the cause. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. You’ll know before the visit.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. Environmental health officers from Brent council inspect food businesses in The Hyde. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning.

Why it’s worth doing now in The Hyde
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. It’s better booked as a planned job in The Hyde than handled as an emergency.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, 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 name and number for whoever controls access to the building in The Hyde saves time on the night.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Common problems we fix in The Hyde
If a trap isn’t emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A routine grease trap service
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Andrew's Hospital about 1.5 miles south-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Honest limits
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
