About our grease trap cleaning in Stuckton
No two traps are quite the same. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention and larger traps hold more grease before they fill. We look at the trap, how much the kitchen uses it and how quickly it fills before suggesting how often it needs cleaning. The work covers restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes, and people most often call us about a larger grease trap that needs emptying and gurgling drains in the kitchen.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Stuckton and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What affects the quote in Stuckton
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
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, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Stuckton
Which environmental health team covers Stuckton?
Kitchens in Stuckton are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Can you work in Stuckton outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Stuckton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps, and busy kitchens fill them faster still. We’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Are you accredited?
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 are fully insured.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Stuckton?
In Stuckton, as everywhere, grease traps are easy to forget. Tucked away under the sink or below the floor it’s often left until there’s a problem.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- A grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- Scheduled grease trap emptying
Historic houses such as Breamore House (about 3.6 miles north) are part of the area around Stuckton, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.
Before you book anyone

- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Stuckton.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- 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
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Kitchens that fry and wash up all day fill their traps quickly. A shorter cleaning interval normally suits them.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They hold more than under-sink units but still fill up.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Sewer problems outside the premises
- A leaking sink waste or trap connection
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Fat from washing up sets hard in pipes, and kitchens like these produce plenty of it. Food hygiene inspections in Stuckton are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team.
