About our grease trap cleaning in Wanshurst Green
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Wanshurst Green, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. Visits are booked around your service so washing up is not interrupted. Typical jobs include a kitchen drain that smells and an under-sink trap that keeps filling up, across pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Wanshurst Green, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as 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.

Common problems we fix in Wanshurst Green
A busy kitchen in Wanshurst Green, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. Traps sized for lighter use can fill very quickly when trade picks up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An overdue grease trap
- An under-sink unit that needs regular emptying
- Drains that gurgle and bubble
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
If you look after a hall kitchen near St Michael and All Angels Church or anywhere in Wanshurst Green, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Keep strainers in every sink
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Getting it cleaned now can stop a full blockage down the line.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. If it’s blocked or greasy, the trap backs up.
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Cooling water lets grease rise and solids settle.
Leave it or put it right?
A full grease trap lets grease through to the drains. It hardens on the pipe walls until water can’t get through. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. Somewhere as small as Wanshurst Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

FAQs for Wanshurst Green
Who inspects food businesses in Wanshurst Green?
The local authority for Wanshurst Green is Maidstone council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you work at weekends in Wanshurst Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Wanshurst Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How long will the sinks be out of use?
Typically, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. Bigger or overdue traps need more time and we’ll say so when we quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you cover Wanshurst Green?
Yes. Wanshurst Green is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A grease trap that’s too small for the kitchen
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
