Grease trap cleaning in Roser's Cross, done properly
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers pot wash sinks, kitchen waste pipes and inline grease traps, and common reasons people get in touch are a full, neglected grease trap and a bad smell from the sinks or drains.
For a kitchen in or near Roser's Cross, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What happens if it’s left?
A dirty grease trap smells. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad and the smell carries. A clean trap takes the source away. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Roser's Cross
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
We do not 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.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Roser's Cross
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Roser's Cross and across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Roser's Cross and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Roser's Cross?
Every pan and plate washed sends grease towards the drain. They cool and float to the top of the trap and the grease layer grows.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Uckfield Community Hospital about 4.3 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
What your quote should include
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the figure could change on the day
