About our grease trap cleaning in Lydd-on-Sea
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. A regular clean keeps it healthy. Common call-outs are for washing-up water that won’t drain away and an overdue grease trap, across pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
For a kitchen in or near Lydd-on-Sea, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
- Kitchen waste pipes

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes less than an hour for many under-sink units, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Lydd-on-Sea can be planned properly.
- First, we locate the grease trap and look at the pipework around it.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- We take out the layer of fat, oil and grease and any solids.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that leaves the kitchen ends up somewhere. It can build up in the drains and join fatbergs in the sewer. A well-maintained trap keeps it where it can be removed. A planned visit to Lydd-on-Sea is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Why Lydd-on-Sea businesses choose us
- A fixed price before any work starts

What affects the quote in Lydd-on-Sea
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens with fixed mealtimes build up grease more predictably. Planned cleaning fits their routine.
Baffles and outlets
The baffles hold back grease while water flows on. Grease clings to them, so we clean them.

Lydd-on-Sea questions
Will you come out to Lydd-on-Sea?
Yes. Lydd-on-Sea is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Lydd-on-Sea?
The local authority for Lydd-on-Sea is Folkestone and Hythe council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?
The sinks that drain into the trap can’t be used while it’s open. That is why we time visits around service to keep disruption down.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
