Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Drayton
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks, and the jobs we see most are a larger grease trap that needs emptying and a bad smell from the sinks or drains.
Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Do not store things on top of the trap
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage typically prevents a blockage down the line.
West Drayton: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in West Drayton?
Kitchens in West Drayton are inspected by Hillingdon council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Can you work in West Drayton outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in West Drayton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you work in West Drayton?
Yes. Our technicians work in West Drayton, within the South East and London area we cover.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we’ll confirm.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen, and check the lid and seals.

West Drayton kitchens: local notes
There are about 65 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 39 takeaways in and around West Drayton, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. It’s Hillingdon council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Drayton. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Harlington about 1.3 miles south-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. For busy kitchens close to West Drayton station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing. For schools such as West Drayton Academy, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.
