How we price grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Charing Hill
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. Common call-outs are for drains that gurgle and bubble and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, on inline grease traps, pot wash sinks and school and care home kitchens.
Work in a small place like Charing Hill starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Charing Hill, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline grease traps
Inline traps may be under a floor panel or in a cupboard. We check how to reach it before the visit.
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
Why deal with it now?
Pouring hot water or chemicals down a slow drain is a common quick fix. That only moves the grease further down the pipe, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. A fault that closes a site in a village like Charing Hill affects everyone who depends on it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What we are called out for in Charing Hill
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Even small amounts add up.

- A bad smell from the sinks or drains

- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Charing Hill
Look up Charing Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Charing Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they wash pans and plates, fat heads for the drain unless a trap catches it. At about 43 miles from central London, Charing Hill sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Charing Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Historic houses such as Godinton House (about 4.2 miles south) are part of the area around Charing Hill, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Charing Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Charing Hill, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Charing Hill questions
Do you work overnight in Charing Hill?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Charing Hill keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Charing Hill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Charing Hill is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What types of grease trap do you clean?
Both under-sink and inline traps, plus interceptors. A photo helps us see what’s fitted and we will confirm.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
