The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them so they’re cleaned every time.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors take longer to clean and we plan the visit accordingly.
About our grease trap cleaning in West Twyford
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. If you’re dealing with scheduled grease trap emptying and a small trap that fills too quickly, we can help, from pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens onwards.
Across London, council environmental health teams inspect food businesses, and walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of the picture. Kitchens in West Twyford often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common questions in West Twyford
Who inspects food businesses in West Twyford?
In West Twyford, it’s Ealing council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you clean school kitchens in West Twyford in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 33 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of West Twyford. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Send us details or a photo and we will give you a fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
It’s removed from site when we leave. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with after we have finished.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
For the length of the clean, yes. The clean takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and we time it to suit you.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in West Twyford
Wherever the kitchen is in West Twyford, backed-up drains stop it working. Water won’t drain away, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. For a site in West Twyford, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Grease trap cleaning in West Twyford: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 30 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels and guest houses registered in and around West Twyford, up to about a mile and a half out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach. In West Twyford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ealing council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Central Middlesex Hospital about 0.6 miles east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. For a café close to Stonebridge Park station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in West Twyford
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A routine grease trap service
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
A summer deep clean suits schools such as West Twyford Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in West Twyford needs from us.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- Sinks feeding the trap are taken out of use.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
