Old Woking grease trap cleaning
Professional grease trap cleaning in and around Old Woking, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Old Woking and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Old Woking
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We assess the trap and how fast it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. If you are dealing with a full, neglected grease trap and gurgling drains in the kitchen, we can help.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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.
Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Old Woking

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

When to call us in Old Woking
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It then builds up in the drains and on towards the sewer, where it can form blockages.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
- A kitchen drain that smells
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Byfleet Manor is about 3.8 miles north-east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they carry
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What records you will receive afterwards
- When the next visit should be, and why
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Old Woking
Do you work overnight in Old Woking?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Old Woking doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Old Woking?
Yes. Old Woking is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
No two traps are quite the same, so we price each one individually. You get a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
What types of premises do you cover?
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.
Grease trap cleaning in Old Woking: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 15 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Old Woking. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Food hygiene inspections in Old Woking are the job of Woking council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Old Woking (the nearest hospital is Woking Community Hospital, about 1.2 miles north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
