Goddard's Green: your questions answered
Can you work in Goddard's Green outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Goddard's Green keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which environmental health team covers Goddard's Green?
In Goddard's Green, it’s West Berkshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Is Goddard's Green in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Goddard's Green.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Goddard's Green
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Fat sets in the pipes downstream and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. If you have sinks that drain slowly and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Goddard's Green starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Grease trap cleaning in Goddard's Green: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Goddard's Green. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. In Goddard's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Berkshire council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
School kitchens, at schools like Garland Junior School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Battle Hospital about 4.9 miles north-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Leave it or put it right?
A smelly, overflowing trap attracts pests. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for as part of a clean kitchen. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Goddard's Green run smoothly.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- The sinks feeding the trap are kept out of use while we work.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

- Pot wash sinks
When to call us in Goddard's Green
In Goddard's Green, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
Stratfield Saye House, about 3.7 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses around Goddard's Green; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.
Before booking anyone
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
