What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
About our grease trap cleaning in Coneyhurst
Kitchens in Coneyhurst use us for grease trap cleaning, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks are not needed, so the kitchen keeps running. The work covers under-sink grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes, and the jobs we see most are gurgling from the sink waste and sinks that drain slowly.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
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.

Why act early in Coneyhurst
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why book with us
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Coneyhurst
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 11 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Coneyhurst. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Coneyhurst. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as The Weald School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Questions from Coneyhurst
Who inspects food businesses in Coneyhurst?
Kitchens in Coneyhurst are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you work overnight in Coneyhurst?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Coneyhurst keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which grease traps does the service cover?
Under-sink units, inline traps and interceptors are all covered. Tell us what you have and we will plan the visit.
What do you do with the waste?
We take the grease and solids away with us. Nothing greasy is left on site when we go.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
Grease trap cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
Common problems we fix in Coneyhurst
Fats, oils and grease from cooking and washing up go down the sink. They cool and float to the top of the trap, and the layer gets thicker day by day.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- An overdue grease trap
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Drains clogged with fat
Historic houses such as Old Place Manor (about 4.8 miles south-west) are part of the area around Coneyhurst, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.
Before booking anyone
