How we handle grease trap cleaning in Stone Corner
A clean trap means flowing drains and no foul smells. We empty the built-up grease and food solids, clean the inside and the baffles and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are gurgling from the sink waste and drains clogged with fat.
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 are 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.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Stone Corner
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Advice
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Stone Corner
Which environmental health team covers Stone Corner?
That’s Ashford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stone Corner. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you cover smaller places like Stone Corner?
Yes. Stone Corner is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
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 have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
No two traps are quite the same, so we quote once we know what you have. We give you a fixed price, usually within one working day.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so water flows freely.
Under-sink grease traps
Under-sink traps are compact units fitted below the kitchen sink. Their small size means they fill fast and need regular cleaning.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
