Grease trap cleaning in Whaddon, done properly
In Whaddon, we time grease trap visits so the sinks aren’t needed. We empty, clean and check the trap and remove the waste. It works on its own or with a deep clean or extract clean. If you have grease setting in the kitchen pipework and a kitchen drain that smells, we can put it right, from pot wash sinks, under-sink grease traps and school and care home kitchens onwards.
Somewhere as small as Whaddon, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Whaddon.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
What affects the cost of grease trap cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Part by part
Grease interceptors
An interceptor works on the same principle as a smaller trap. Grease floats and solids sink.
Baffles and outlets
The outlet carries the separated water on to the drain. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Keep access to the trap clear
- Keep strainers in every sink
We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.
Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Once it’s there, it needs a drainage contractor to clear, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.

What else we do in Whaddon
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something 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 can diagnose it and quote.

When to call us in Whaddon
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Small amounts soon build up.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A routine grease trap service
- A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- An overdue grease trap
School kitchens, at schools like Whaddon CofE First School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
