Grease trap cleaning in Turnham Green, done properly
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Turnham Green, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. We’re often asked to deal with a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and sinks that drain slowly, on inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
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 Turnham Green, the work is typically done overnight, between the last service and the first.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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.

Grease trap cleaning in Turnham Green: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 428 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 81 sandwich bars and takeaways across Turnham Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Fat from London kitchens contributes to sewer blockages, which is why grease traps need emptying on a schedule. In Turnham Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hounslow council. 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.
For a café close to Chiswick station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Barnes Hospital (about 1.3 miles south), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Nicholas Church or elsewhere in Turnham Green, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
You will get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the quote in Turnham Green
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. For a site in Turnham Green, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself 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 Turnham Green is no exception.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
