Gully Trap Cleaning

Gully traps play a vital role in preventing foul odours, blockages, and surface water flooding.

Over time, gully traps collect grease, leaves, silt, and waste. If not cleaned regularly, they can overflow, smell, or cause water to back up into your property.

We provide thorough gully trap cleaning for domestic and commercial properties across Coventry and surrounding areas.

What Is a Gully Trap?

A gully trap is an external drainage point that collects surface water and wastewater before it enters the main drain.

It acts as a barrier to stop smells and gases from returning into the property.

When blocked, it becomes a major drainage risk.

When Does a Gully Trap Need Cleaning?

Gully trap cleaning is recommended if you notice:

  • Slow drainage outside the property

  • Standing water around drains

  • Unpleasant odours near external drains

  • Overflow during heavy rain

  • Repeated internal blockages

Regular cleaning prevents costly repairs later.
