Grease trap cleaning in Tutts Clump, done properly
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap holds them back. We’re often asked to deal with a kitchen drain that smells and drains that gurgle and bubble, across pot wash sinks, inline grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
For a kitchen in or near Tutts Clump, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Somewhere as small as Tutts Clump, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.
Why deal with it now?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Somewhere as small as Tutts Clump, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Questions from Tutts Clump
Do you work in villages like Tutts Clump?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Tutts Clump included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Tutts Clump?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Tutts Clump keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
How long does a grease trap clean take?
Most grease trap cleans take less than an hour for many under-sink units including checking it drains. It’s booked when the sinks are not needed.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
