Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cheeseman's Green
If the sinks drain slowly or smell, the trap is often the cause. In Cheeseman's Green, as everywhere we work, our team empties and cleans the trap and run water through to check it drains. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways, and common reasons people get in touch are an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying and scheduled grease trap emptying.
In a village or hamlet like Cheeseman's Green, 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 carry full insurance.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Do not store things on top of the trap
Anything we notice beyond the trap, like a slow drain downstream, is pointed out. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Somewhere as small as Cheeseman's Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Why act early in Cheeseman's Green
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. It adds to blockages further down the drains and sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. Planning a trip to Cheeseman's Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Cheeseman's Green kitchens: local notes
Look up Cheeseman's Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 food manufacturers and packers within about 1.5 miles of central Cheeseman's Green. Where food is made in quantity, grease traps fill faster and need a tighter schedule. Environmental health officers from Ashford council inspect food businesses in Cheeseman's Green. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
William Harvey Hospital, about 2.1 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Cheeseman's Green; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Finberry Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Godinton House is about 4.3 miles north-west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

Cheeseman's Green: your questions answered
Can you come to Cheeseman's Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Cheeseman's Green can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Cheeseman's Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Cheeseman's Green included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
How we price grease trap cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
