Grease trap cleaning in Chaddleworth, done properly
Kitchens in Chaddleworth use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service, so the kitchen keeps running. Typical jobs include an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, on restaurants and takeaways, pot wash sinks and inline grease traps.
In a village or hamlet like Chaddleworth, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

FAQs for Chaddleworth
Can you work in Chaddleworth outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Chaddleworth keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Chaddleworth within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Chaddleworth included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
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 much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.

Other services in Chaddleworth
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Chaddleworth?
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- An overdue grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
For schools such as Chaddleworth St Andrew's C.E. Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Chaddleworth knowing what to expect.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- 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.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are cleaned in a short visit and check the seal on the lid.
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
Leave it or put it right?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. In a place like Chaddleworth, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- In business since 2009
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- A fixed price before any work starts
