Grease trap cleaning in Stones Green, done properly
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out, clean the inside and the baffles, and check the trap is working properly. The work covers inline grease traps, restaurants and takeaways and school and care home kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are washing-up water that won’t drain away and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease.
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 are fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Visits are booked when the sinks aren’t in use so the kitchen isn’t disrupted.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease trap cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Somewhere as small as Stones Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- We remove the grease layer and settled solids.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Stones Green and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

Questions from Stones Green
Do you clean school kitchens in Stones Green in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Stones Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work at weekends in Stones Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Stones Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you work in Stones Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Stones Green, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. Where the problem is further down the drain, we will say so so you can call a drainage contractor.
Signs you need grease trap cleaning in Stones Green
The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can struggle when cooking increases.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A bad smell from the sinks or drains
- A larger grease trap that needs emptying
- Drains clogged with fat
- A routine grease trap service
School kitchens, at schools like Wix and Wrabness Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the price is fixed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether VAT is included
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
