How we price grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
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 will price it together.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Grease trap cleaning in Willesden Green
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. The work covers school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps, and the jobs we see most are an overdue grease trap and an interceptor full of grease and solids.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. For a kitchen in Willesden Green, the work is normally done overnight, between the last service and the first.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Part by part
Inline grease traps
Several sinks may drain into one inline trap. More waste means faster filling.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval usually suits them.
Why deal with it now?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. Planning ahead in Willesden Green lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

FAQs for Willesden Green
Who inspects food businesses in Willesden Green?
Kitchens in Willesden Green are inspected by Brent council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you clean school kitchens in Willesden Green in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 53 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Willesden Green. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
A typical clean takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, including testing. We plan the visit around your service.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
The sinks that drain into the trap can’t be used while it’s open. That’s why we time visits around service to keep disruption down.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you cover Willesden Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Willesden Green, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
Keep used oil out of the drains, and the trap will stay cleaner for longer. It makes a real difference.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
Willesden Green kitchens: local notes
Look up Willesden Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 51 food manufacturers and packers within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Willesden Green. Production sites can wash large amounts of fat and oil towards the drain, so traps need emptying to suit the volume. Fat from London kitchens contributes to sewer blockages, which is why grease traps need emptying on a schedule. It’s Brent council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Willesden Green. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
For a café close to Kensal Rise station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Donnington Primary School or anywhere near Willesden Green, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Willesden Green, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
