Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Culverstone Green
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. Typical jobs include an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and a full, neglected grease trap, across pot wash sinks, inline grease traps and kitchen waste pipes.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Visits to a village like Culverstone Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Culverstone Green
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. In the trap, they cool and separate, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A routine grease trap service
School kitchens, at schools like Culverstone Green Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Do you work in school kitchens around Culverstone Green out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Culverstone Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
The right interval depends on your trap and your cooking. Slow or smelly sinks between cleans mean it needs doing more often, and we can shorten it.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Honest limits
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage later.
