Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. If the system at a site near Wrotham fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

How we handle grease trap cleaning in Wrotham
Grease traps sit between the sinks and the drain, holding back fats, oils and grease. Cooling water lets the grease rise and separate while the water carries on to the drain. Over time, the trap fills up and needs emptying and cleaning. If you are dealing with a full, neglected grease trap and an interceptor full of grease and solids, we can help, from under-sink grease traps, school and care home kitchens and kitchen waste pipes onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Wrotham, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Wrotham: your questions answered
Will you come out to Wrotham?
Yes. Wrotham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Wrotham?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Wrotham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you clear our blocked drains as well?
A trap clean removes the grease in the trap, and can clear the problem where the trap was the cause. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will quote so you know the cost up front.
What happens if a grease trap isn’t cleaned?
Grease and food waste build up until the trap stops working. Slow drains, bad smells and blockages follow.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is 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 do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Wrotham.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

How we price grease trap cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Scrape plates and pans into the bin before washing up
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we will tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to look further.
A fixed cleaning interval means the trap never gets overfull. We agree the timing with you.
Wrotham kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wrotham. Kitchens like these wash fat, oil and grease down the sink every day, and a grease trap is what stops it reaching the sewer. In Wrotham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Sevenoaks Hospital about 5.1 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Where a church or community hall near Church of St George, or anywhere in Wrotham, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.
Wrotham is about 6 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Every kind of commercial site in Wrotham, we can take on grease trap cleaning. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. We cover 922 places across Kent, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Maidstone page, about 10 miles away.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Do you need grease trap cleaning in Wrotham?
A busy kitchen in Wrotham, or anywhere else, fills its grease trap faster. A trap that suited a quieter kitchen can struggle when cooking increases.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- Foul odours from the grease trap
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Sinks that drain slowly
Historic houses such as Old Soar Manor (about 3.2 miles south) are part of the area around Wrotham, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.
Questions to ask before you book
