Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Hill
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Eventually it fills and has to be emptied and cleaned. The work covers under-sink grease traps, pot wash sinks and kitchen waste pipes, and the jobs we see most are grease setting in the kitchen pipework and gurgling from the sink waste.
For a kitchen in or near East Hill, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Grease trap cleaning around East Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of East Hill. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. It’s Sevenoaks council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in East Hill. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Lullingstone Castle is about 2.2 miles north-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of Saint Mary the Virgin or anywhere in East Hill, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Sevenoaks Hospital, about 4 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to East Hill.

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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.
FAQs for East Hill
Who inspects food businesses in East Hill?
The local authority for East Hill is Sevenoaks council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. 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 at weekends in East Hill?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in East Hill can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you survey before quoting?
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.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It varies. We look at how full the trap is and how quickly it fills and we’ll advise on timing.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The waste leaves with us. Nothing greasy is left on site after the visit.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
