Grease trap cleaning in Fulmer
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. 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. We’re often asked to deal with drains that gurgle and bubble and a larger grease trap that needs emptying, on kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Fulmer, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Common questions in Fulmer
Can you come to Fulmer after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Fulmer can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Fulmer?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Each trap is a little different, and you can expect it to take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. You’ll know before the visit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Where does the waste go?
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.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
It depends where the blockage is. A full trap is a common cause, and cleaning it can help but grease set further down the drains needs jetting by a drainage specialist.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Common problems we fix in Fulmer
A busy kitchen in Fulmer, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. Traps sized for lighter use can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
What we are most often called out for:
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- An overdue grease trap
For schools such as Fulmer Infant School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Proof of insurance
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks are not in use so the kitchen isn’t disrupted.
Grease interceptors
Interceptors separate grease the same way, on a larger scale. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Fulmer and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the trap and check how it’s fitted.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Fulmer
- Pot wash sinks
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
