How it works

- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.

Grease trap cleaning in Bramdean
For kitchens across Bramdean, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. The trap is emptied, cleaned and checked and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. If you are dealing with sinks that drain slowly and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, we can put it right, from under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Bramdean, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

At about 54 miles from central London, Bramdean sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Bramdean get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Simon and St Jude or anywhere around Bramdean, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Common problems we fix in Bramdean
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- An overdue grease trap
- A routine grease trap service
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 1.3 miles west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How they set the interval to the next visit
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bramdean
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What affects the quote in Bramdean
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. Water is run through to check everything flows 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.
Common questions in Bramdean
Which environmental health team covers Bramdean?
Kitchens in Bramdean are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can the work in Bramdean be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we will tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Do you work in Bramdean?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Bramdean.
Do you take the waste away?
We take the grease and solids away with us. You’re not left with anything to dispose of after the visit.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long, and we can shorten it.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
