Grease trap cleaning in Sherfield on Loddon
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. As the waste water cools, the grease floats and stays in the trap while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and has to be emptied and cleaned. Common call-outs are for a full, neglected grease trap and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, on kitchen waste pipes, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks.
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.
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?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Sherfield on Loddon
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What we are called out for in Sherfield on Loddon
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A full, neglected grease trap
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- An under-sink trap that keeps filling up
- A kitchen drain that smells
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Leonard or elsewhere in Sherfield on Loddon, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Different parts, different methods
Baffles and outlets

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
