Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Green
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In West Green, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap, then check the water flows properly. If you have a full, neglected grease trap and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps onwards.
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 West Green from adding to the problem.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. If your building in West Green has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Want a quote for grease trap cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval usually suits them.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Grease trap cleaning in West Green: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 473 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 157 takeaways in West Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Kitchens in West Green get their food hygiene inspections from Haringey council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach.
Where a church or community hall near St Philip the Apostle, or anywhere in West Green, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. For schools such as West Green Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What we’re called out for in West Green
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Sinks that drain slowly
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Greentrees Hospital, about 1.7 miles north, is the nearest hospital to West Green.

Common questions in West Green
Do you work at weekends in West Green?

Do you work in school kitchens around West Green out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 48 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of West Green. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. They’re emptied, cleaned and checked whatever the size.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we’ll say so and suggest a drainage contractor.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
