What grease trap cleaning looks like in Great Stonar
Food Standards Agency records list about 24 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Great Stonar. Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. Kitchens in Great Stonar get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ramsgate General Hospital (about 4.2 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you look after a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church or anywhere in Great Stonar, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Common questions in Great Stonar
Is Great Stonar within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work overnight in Great Stonar?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Great Stonar needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We clean under-sink traps, inline traps and interceptors. Let us know what’s fitted and we will plan the visit.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in Great Stonar?
A full trap cannot hold any more grease. It goes on into the drain and on towards the sewer, where it can cause blockages.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A slow-draining kitchen sink
- Grease setting in the kitchen pipework
- Gurgling drains in the kitchen
For schools such as Sandwich Infant School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
