Grease trap cleaning in Loyterton, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps them out of the drains. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, restaurants and takeaways and pot wash sinks, and people most often call us about drains clogged with fat and a routine grease trap service.
Work in a small place like Loyterton starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Loyterton questions
Is Loyterton within the area you cover?
Yes. Loyterton 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.
Which council inspects kitchens in Loyterton?
In Loyterton, it’s Swale council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
It depends where the blockage is. If the trap is full, cleaning it often helps, but blockages further along need a drainage contractor.
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.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
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. We will confirm when we quote.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Common problems we fix in Loyterton
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Drains clogged with fat
- Sinks that drain slowly
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Belmont House and Gardens is about 3.1 miles south-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they recommend a next date
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Visits to a village like Loyterton 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 parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. That only moves the grease further down the pipe, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. With notice, the visit to Loyterton can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What a clean won’t put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Plumbing leaks around the sink
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
