Grease trap cleaning in Tutt Hill
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, and clean water flows on. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. If you have an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning and gurgling from the sink waste, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Tutt Hill starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Tutt Hill kitchens: local notes
About 45 miles out from central London, Tutt Hill is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Kitchens in Tutt Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as William Harvey Hospital (about 5.1 miles south-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. School kitchens, at schools like The Hayesbrook School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Common problems we fix in Tutt Hill
In Tutt Hill, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor, it’s often ignored until something goes wrong.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Tutt Hill, such as a historic house like Godinton House (about 1.8 miles south), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease trap cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Tutt Hill knowing what to expect.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- 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
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Tutt Hill
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Pot wash sinks
- Inline grease traps
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Mention any increase in cooking
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Tutt Hill
Can the work in Tutt Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Tutt Hill needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you get to a site in Tutt Hill?
Yes. Tutt Hill 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.
What do you do with the waste?
We remove all the waste we take out. It isn’t poured back down the drain, of course.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
Trap size, type, condition and access all affect the price. Send us details or a photo and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will suggest an interval after the first clean.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Leave it or put it right?
Wherever the kitchen is in Tutt Hill, backed-up drains stop it working. Sinks won’t empty, and dirty water can back up. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
