About our grease trap cleaning in Churchill
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are scheduled grease trap emptying and an overdue grease trap.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Churchill
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Churchill?
Food scraps go down the sink with the washing-up water. It settles in the trap as solids and takes up space.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- A routine grease trap service
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Churchill, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Common questions in Churchill
Is Churchill within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Churchill included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work in school kitchens around Churchill out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Churchill, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
A typical clean takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap including checking it drains. It’s booked when the sinks are not needed.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you do with the waste?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site after the visit.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Churchill knowing what to expect.
- We agree a time when the sinks are not needed.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
