Greater London · Grease trap cleaning
Grease trap cleaning in Wallington, Greater London
Looking for grease trap cleaning in Wallington? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
What happens if it’s left?
Grease that gets past the trap doesn’t disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

About our grease trap cleaning in Wallington
Every trap is different. Under-sink units are small and fill quickly and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. If you’re dealing with a kitchen drain that smells and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, we can put it right.
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. In Wallington, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally done overnight.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Pot wash sinks
What affects the quote in Wallington
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Wallington kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 23 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Wallington. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Fat from London kitchens contributes to sewer blockages, which is why grease traps need emptying on a schedule. It’s Sutton council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wallington. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Wallington, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Queen Mary's Hospital For Children, about 1.4 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Wallington; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. School kitchens, at schools like Holy Trinity CofE Junior School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still need regular emptying.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval normally suits them.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Wallington
Do you work at weekends in Wallington?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Wallington does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Wallington?
Food hygiene inspections in Wallington are carried out by Sutton council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
An overfull trap lets grease into the drains. It sets there and narrows the pipes until they block. Regular cleaning prevents it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. For a job in Wallington, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Wallington
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
