When to call us in Park Farm
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink fills a grease trap far faster than washing-up. Even small amounts add up.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- A routine grease trap service
- An overdue grease trap
- Sinks that drain slowly
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; William Harvey Hospital, about 2.4 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Park Farm.

Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Park Farm
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. We empty the built-up grease and food solids and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. If you have a larger grease trap that needs emptying and sinks that drain slowly, we can put it right.
In a place like Park Farm, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is typically the first sign.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for grease trap cleaning in Park Farm
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
If you need grease trap cleaning in Park Farm, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Park Farm questions
Can school kitchens in Park Farm be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Park Farm. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Park Farm?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Park Farm included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you clean under-sink and inline grease traps?
We cover under-sink, inline and interceptor units. Each one is emptied, cleaned and checked in the same careful way.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What problems does a full grease trap cause?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells and can end up adding to sewer blockages.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
We clean the trap, not the drain network. If the drain beyond the trap is blocked or damaged, we’ll tell you and suggest a drainage contractor.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Tell us when your site near Park Farm is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- Once it’s refitted, water is run through to check it drains, and we take the waste with us.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease set hard in the drain run
- Drains that are cracked or have collapsed
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Pot wash sinks
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Under-sink grease traps
- Inline grease traps
- Kitchen waste pipes
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Keep strainers in every sink
If we spot problems beyond the trap, such as a drain that still runs slowly, we’ll tell you. That may need a drainage contractor to investigate.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Booking cleans more often keeps the drains flowing.
Grease trap cleaning in Park Farm: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Park Farm. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in Park Farm get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Where a church or community hall near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Park Farm, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Godinton House is about 3.1 miles north-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
