Grease trap cleaning in Jury's Gap
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. We’re often asked to deal with an overdue grease trap and drains that gurgle and bubble, on kitchen waste pipes, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why act early in Jury's Gap
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. A clean trap is less of an attraction, alongside good kitchen hygiene. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Jury's Gap questions
Is Jury's Gap within the area you cover?
Yes. Jury's Gap is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Jury's Gap after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Jury's Gap doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
For grease trap cleaning in Jury's Gap, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
What we’re called out for in Jury's Gap
Oil tipped down the drain instead of being collected overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A kitchen drain that smells
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
Lamb House, about 4.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses around Jury's Gap; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. A regular interval suits them well.
Inline grease traps
An inline trap sits in the pipework between the kitchen and the drain. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something 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 can diagnose it and quote.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Jury's Gap, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Getting ready for the visit
