About our grease trap cleaning in Northbrook
Grease is behind most blocked kitchen drains. Further on, grease can build into fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly holds them back. The work covers inline grease traps, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and a larger grease trap that needs emptying.
For a kitchen in or near Northbrook, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Common problems we fix in Northbrook
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can cause blockages.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- An overdue grease trap
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Northbrook, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit 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 Northbrook run smoothly.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- We clean the chambers, baffles and connections.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What happens if it’s left?
In Northbrook, as anywhere, grease trap cleaning is a short, routine visit. Waiting for a blockage turns it into an urgent problem and normally at the worst moment. A planned visit to Northbrook is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
The waste we remove leaves with us. Nothing is left for you to dispose of when we are done.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
Common questions in Northbrook
Which environmental health team covers Northbrook?
Kitchens in Northbrook are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you work in Northbrook outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Northbrook does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How much time does a grease trap clean need?
Most grease trap cleans take anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap including checking it drains. We plan the visit around your service.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Our service covers the grease trap itself. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much notice do you need?
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.
