Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Russell's Green
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you have a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time and a slow-draining kitchen sink, we can put it right, from school and care home kitchens, restaurants and takeaways and under-sink grease traps onwards.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease interceptors
Grease interceptors are larger units that serve busier kitchens. With more capacity, they fill more slowly, but they still need regular emptying and cleaning.
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. They fill quickly, so they need frequent emptying.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Russell's Green questions
Who inspects food businesses in Russell's Green?
That’s Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Russell's Green. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Can the work in Russell's Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Where does the grease from the trap go?
The fat, oil, grease and solids we remove go with us. None of it goes back into the drains, of course.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Fit sink strainers to catch food scraps
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
The waste we remove leaves with us. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. If the system at a site near Russell's Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- Collapsed or damaged drains, which need a drainage contractor
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the quote in Russell's Green
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What grease trap cleaning looks like in Russell's Green

Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. We cover Russell's Green, about 48 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Russell's Green, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
