Why act early in Wimbledon Chase
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Grease trap cleaning in Wimbledon Chase, done properly
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. In Wimbledon Chase, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. If you have sinks that drain slowly and scheduled grease trap 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. For a kitchen in Wimbledon Chase, the work is typically done overnight, between the last service and the first.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in Wimbledon Chase
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Wimbledon Chase is normally out of hours.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Drains in care settings need to keep flowing. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways

What we are called out for in Wimbledon Chase
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. Once it cools, it sets in the pipework or the drain.
Look out for any of the following:
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Sinks that drain slowly
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
If you serve passing trade near Wimbledon Chase station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.

Wimbledon Chase: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Wimbledon Chase?

Do you clean school kitchens in Wimbledon Chase in the summer holidays?

By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.

Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Send us details or a photo and we will send you a fixed quote.
What is TR19?

Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Wimbledon Chase kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 29 pubs, bars and clubs and about 6 hotels and guest houses registered in Wimbledon Chase and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Most London kitchens cannot close in the day, so deep cleaning is typically done overnight. Food hygiene inspections in Wimbledon Chase are the job of Merton council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Hall kitchens near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Wimbledon Chase may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Wimbledon Chase Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
