Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Comp
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Grease trap cleaning in Comp
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 needs emptying and cleaning. Typical jobs include an under-sink trap that keeps filling up and washing-up water that won’t drain away, across inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens.
For a kitchen in or near Comp, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
The report is your 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, ready for your insurer.

Commercial kitchens in Comp
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Comp 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. Environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council inspect food businesses in Comp. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Old Soar Manor, about 1.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses around Comp; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps. For schools such as Platt Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays. Where a church or community hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Comp, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Do you clean school kitchens in Comp in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Comp. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you work in villages like Comp?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Comp is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
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, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we will tell you so you can call a drainage contractor.
Are you accredited?
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. We give you a fixed price, normally within one working day.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Broken pipework below ground
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What else we do in Comp
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks aren’t in use so you don’t lose trade.
Baffles and outlets
We check the inlet, outlet and baffles at each clean so the trap works as it should.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the grease trap cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere like Comp, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- We refit it, run water through and remove the waste.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Related advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, 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.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Comp
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Comp rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Why Comp businesses choose us

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
Setting regular cleans takes the guesswork out. We agree the timing with you.
