Questions from Bow Brickhill
Is Bow Brickhill within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bow Brickhill included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Bow Brickhill?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Bow Brickhill does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
We price it once we know the trap and how often it needs cleaning. Get in touch and we will give you a fixed quote so you know the cost up front.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
A full trap can’t catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Bow Brickhill run smoothly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
A blocked drain in a busy kitchen can stop service. Keeping the trap clean reduces the risk.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Why deal with it now?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. A clean trap is less of an attraction as part of a clean kitchen. If the system at a site near Bow Brickhill fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Use strainers in the sink plugholes
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. We run water through to check it drains before we leave.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
What grease trap cleaning cannot fix
Grease trap cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
