About our grease trap cleaning in Holloway Down
For kitchens across Holloway Down, grease trap cleaning fits easily around service. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It can be booked on its own or alongside other kitchen work. The work covers school and care home kitchens, kitchen waste pipes and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about an overdue grease trap and a larger grease trap that needs emptying.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. In Holloway Down, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically done overnight.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Questions from Holloway Down
Who inspects food businesses in Holloway Down?
That is Newham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Holloway Down. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you work in Holloway Down outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Holloway Down doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
How we price grease trap cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
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 play a part.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and we clear up before we go. Expect the work in Holloway Down to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Related advice
What grease trap cleaning can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Broken pipework below ground
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Mention any increase in cooking
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
Between cleans, keep food scraps out of the sink. Use strainers in the sink plugholes before they reach the trap.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage later.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 can diagnose it and quote.
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. That’s our job.
