Grease trap cleaning in Kintbury, done properly
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. A regular clean keeps it healthy. We are often asked to deal with a bad smell from the sinks or drains and scheduled grease trap emptying, across pot wash sinks, restaurants and takeaways and kitchen waste pipes.
For a kitchen in or near Kintbury, 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What happens if it’s left?
Pests are drawn to grease and food waste. Keeping the trap clean removes something they’re looking for, alongside good kitchen hygiene. A fault that closes a site in a village like Kintbury affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Kintbury
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Kintbury?
In Kintbury, 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.
Do you work in villages like Kintbury?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Kintbury is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
Every trap is different, so we price each one individually. We give you a fixed price, typically within one working day.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
A full trap can’t catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease interceptors
Bigger kitchens may have a larger grease interceptor. They hold more grease and solids, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
We time visits to avoid service so the kitchen isn’t disrupted.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes less than an hour for many under-sink units. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Kintbury run smoothly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- We put it back together, run water through and remove the waste.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
