- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A routine grease trap service
- Sinks that drain slowly
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Tottenham Green is no exception.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Grease trap cleaning in Tottenham Green
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Tottenham Green, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are an overdue grease trap and washing-up water that won’t drain away.
Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. Regular grease trap cleaning keeps a kitchen in Tottenham Green from adding to the problem.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Commercial kitchens in Tottenham Green
There are about 40 food manufacturers and packers across Tottenham Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A production site’s wash-down water can carry plenty of fat, which a trap or interceptor has to catch. It’s Haringey council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Tottenham Green. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day.
Where a church or community hall near Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Tottenham Green, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Tottenham Green (the nearest hospital is North Middlesex University Hospital, about 1.9 miles north), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Part by part
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Grease floats and solids sink.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Common problems we fix in Tottenham Green
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
For a café close to Seven Sisters station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the quote in Tottenham Green
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- 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
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
