About our grease trap cleaning in Titsey
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. The work covers under-sink grease traps, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are drains that gurgle and bubble and a full, neglected grease trap.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common questions in Titsey
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Titsey?
In Titsey, it’s Tandridge council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you clean school kitchens in Titsey in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Titsey. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills and we’ll advise on timing.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Tell us what you have and we will plan around it.
Will the grease trap clean disrupt the kitchen?
For the length of the clean, yes. It takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap and we book it around your service.
Titsey kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops in Titsey and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. Kitchens in Titsey get their food hygiene inspections from Tandridge council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St James the Greater or anywhere in Titsey, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tandridge Priory (about 1.7 miles south), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. Historic houses such as Titsey Place (about 0.3 miles west) are part of the area around Titsey, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

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.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline grease traps
Inline traps often take waste from several sinks or appliances. That means more grease, so regular cleaning matters.
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we allow for that.
Why it’s worth doing now in Titsey
Wherever the kitchen is in Titsey, backed-up drains stop it working. Water won’t drain away and waste water can come back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. It’s simpler to plan the work at Titsey now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Why Titsey businesses choose us
- We diagnose before we treat

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
A trap that’s left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
