Grease trap cleaning in Walham Green, done properly
In Walham Green, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t needed. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you’re dealing with a larger grease trap that needs emptying and washing-up water that won’t drain away, we can help, from school and care home kitchens, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. In Walham Green, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically done overnight.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.
Common problems we fix in Walham Green
If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can form blockages.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A full, neglected grease trap
If you run a café or takeaway near Imperial Wharf station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Proof of insurance

- What paperwork you get at the end
FAQs for Walham Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Walham Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Walham Green are carried out by Hammersmith and Fulham council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
What do you need to know about parking in Walham Green?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Walham Green makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Under-sink and inline grease traps, and larger interceptors. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Most grease trap cleans take a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor including checking it drains. It’s booked when the sinks aren’t needed.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
Just the sinks that drain into the trap, and only while we work. We plan the visit for a quieter time wherever possible.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Walham Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 23 food manufacturers and packers in Walham Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For food producers, the grease trap schedule should follow the volume going through it. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning. Food hygiene inspections in Walham Green are the job of Hammersmith and Fulham council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Hall kitchens near Church of St John or elsewhere in Walham Green may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, about 0.5 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Walham Green; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. Visits are planned between meals.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
