Grease trap cleaning in Dora's Green
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. We are often asked to deal with a bad smell from the sinks or drains and gurgling from the sink waste, on restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens.
For a kitchen in or near Dora's Green, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Dora's Green. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Food hygiene inspections in Dora's Green are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record. Dora's Green, about 37 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Hall and church kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Dora's Green, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Dora's Green, such as a historic house like Farnham Castle (about 1.7 miles south-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Dora's Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

FAQs for Dora's Green
Do you work in villages like Dora's Green?
Yes. Dora's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Dora's Green?
In Dora's Green, it’s Hart council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
The sinks that drain into the trap cannot be used while it’s open. That’s why we time visits around service so the kitchen isn’t held up.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. A small trap fills more quickly than a large one and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or between meal services.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. They often need the most frequent cleaning.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Never pour used oil down the sink
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is in Dora's Green, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks will not empty and waste water can come back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. With notice, the visit to Dora's Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
