About our grease trap cleaning in West Green
Smells from the sink, gurgling drains or slow drainage all point to the grease trap. We find the trap, empty it and clean it and run water through to check it drains. If you’re dealing with gurgling from the sink waste and a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap, we can help, from restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and pot wash sinks onwards.
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.
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’re fully insured.

West Green: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in West Green?
The local authority for West Green is Hart council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you come to West Green after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Will cleaning the grease trap fix a blocked drain?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. Blockages further down the drain, or damaged pipework, need a drainage contractor.
Can you give me a price for grease trap cleaning?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll quote so you know the cost up front.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
When to call us in West Green
In West Green, 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Drains clogged with fat
- A small trap that fills too quickly
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 3.4 miles east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Don’t store things on top of the trap
- Hot water only moves grease further down
We take the grease and solids away. There’s no greasy waste left on site after the visit.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Cleaning it before it’s full keeps grease out of the drains and avoids a blockage.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffles and outlets
Every clean includes the baffles, inlet and outlet so water flows freely.
School, care home and staff kitchens
School kitchens can be cleaned in the holidays or between meal services.
Managing agents and facilities teams in West Green
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Grease trap cleaning around West Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of West Green. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. In West Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 4.6 miles north-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. Hall and church kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around West Green, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Why deal with it now?
Smells from a neglected trap are hard to ignore. Decomposing waste in the trap smells bad that can reach the kitchen and beyond. Cleaning it removes the cause. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near West Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to West Green can be planned properly.
- First, we find the trap and look at its connections.
- We make sure nothing drains into the trap.
- Grease and solids are removed from the trap.
- We clean every part of the inside.
- The trap is refitted, tested with water and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
