Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Furze Platt
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and pot wash sinks, and people most often call us about an interceptor full of grease and solids and a small trap that fills too quickly.
For a kitchen near Furze Platt, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What affects the quote in Furze Platt
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
We will suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
When to call us in Furze Platt
Food waste slips past sink strainers or gets rinsed down. It settles in the trap as solids and fill it from below.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- A full, neglected grease trap
- A routine grease trap service
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mark's Hospital (about 0.8 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Furze Platt: your questions answered
Can you work in Furze Platt outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Furze Platt keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can a school kitchen in Furze Platt be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Furze Platt, the Food Standards Agency lists about 28 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
It depends on the type and size of the trap, its condition and access. Tell us about the trap and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
As a guide, it takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Bigger or overdue traps need more time, and we’ll tell you in advance.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. There it sets and narrows the pipe, until the drain blocks. Regular trap cleaning beats dealing with a blockage. In a smaller place like Furze Platt, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
