- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- An overdue grease trap
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Castle Green can be planned properly.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Castle Green
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. 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. Typical jobs include an overdue grease trap and sinks that drain slowly, across pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens.
Work in a small place like Castle Green starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What affects the quote in Castle Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens need their drains working all the time. We fit visits around mealtimes.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.
Castle Green questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Castle Green?
Kitchens in Castle Green are inspected by Surrey Heath council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Will you come out to Castle Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Castle Green included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
There’s no single answer. The interval depends on how quickly your trap fills and we will advise on timing.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What else we do in Castle Green
What we’re called out for in Castle Green
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens, often in the trap or the pipe beyond.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Sinks that drain slowly
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Castle Green, such as a historic house like Botleys Mansion (about 4.2 miles north-east), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.
