Grease Trap Cleaning in Dunton Green
For grease trap cleaning in Dunton Green, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A full, neglected grease trap
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Gurgling from the sink waste
Leave it or put it right?
Grease that gets past the trap does not disappear. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. Keeping it in the trap, and emptying the trap, is the responsible thing to do. In a small place like Dunton Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay 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.

Grease trap cleaning in Dunton Green, done properly
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it, then check the water flows properly. We’re often asked to deal with a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and gurgling from the sink waste, across pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and restaurants and takeaways.
For a kitchen in or near Dunton Green, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Dunton Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 10 pubs and bars across Dunton Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. In Dunton Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
For a café close to Dunton Green station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John's Church or elsewhere in Dunton Green, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Dunton Green: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Dunton Green?
Kitchens in Dunton Green are inspected by Sevenoaks council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Can the work in Dunton Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Dunton Green can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How regularly does a grease trap need emptying?
It depends on the size of the trap and how busy the kitchen is. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We’ll recommend a schedule once we’ve seen it.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Dunton Green
A busy kitchen in Dunton Green, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- An overdue grease trap
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Dunton Green (the nearest hospital is Sevenoaks Hospital, about 1.2 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they recommend a next date
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- School and care home kitchens
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Dunton Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- We empty out the fat, oil, grease and solids.
- The chambers and baffles are cleaned.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
