About our grease trap cleaning in Deadwater
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Deadwater, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks are not needed so washing up isn’t interrupted. Typical jobs include washing-up water that won’t drain away and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, on pot wash sinks, school and care home kitchens and under-sink grease traps.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Deadwater are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
Each 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.

FAQs for Deadwater
Can the work in Deadwater be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Deadwater can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can school kitchens in Deadwater be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Deadwater. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we are done.
A trap that is left too long stops catching grease. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.

What affects the quote in Deadwater
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- Blockages further down the drainage network
- Grease set hard in the drain run
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
What the work involves, part by part
Under-sink grease traps
We empty and clean under-sink traps without disrupting the rest of the kitchen and check the seal on the lid.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens with lots of washing-up fill traps fast. A shorter cleaning interval normally suits them.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. In a place like Deadwater, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Grease trap cleaning around Deadwater
Food Standards Agency data counts about 14 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Deadwater. A grease trap in kitchens like these fills steadily and needs emptying before it overflows. In Deadwater, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Mill Chase Academy for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Chase Community Hospital, about 0.7 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Deadwater. Where a church or community hall near St Mark's Sacred Church, or anywhere in Deadwater, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.
