Grease trap cleaning in Kingsley Green
A grease trap catches fats, oils and grease from the kitchen sinks before they reach the drain. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap, and clean water flows on. Eventually it fills and needs emptying and cleaning. The work covers kitchen waste pipes, inline grease traps and under-sink grease traps, and people most often call us about an overdue grease trap and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
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.

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Keep strainers in every sink
- Avoid pouring boiling water down to shift grease
Once the trap is cleaned and refitted, the sinks can be used right away. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and saves a call-out for a blocked drain.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Kingsley Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Kingsley Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Kingsley Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. At about 41 miles from central London, Kingsley Green sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kingsley Green. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Haslemere and District Hospital (about 2.1 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Fernhurst Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

Kingsley Green questions
Can school kitchens in Kingsley Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Kingsley Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which council inspects kitchens in Kingsley Green?
In Kingsley Green, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
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 staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Common problems we fix in Kingsley Green
Hot water and detergent carry grease further than you’d expect. When it cools, the grease hardens in the pipework or the drain.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A full, neglected grease trap
Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Kingsley Green may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
