Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Do not rely on hot water to clear grease
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
Collect waste cooking oil separately rather than pouring it down the sink and the trap will not fill as quickly. It’s the single easiest way to help.
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.
Grease trap cleaning in Stockland Green
A neglected grease trap stops doing its job. Fat sets in the pipes downstream, leading to slow drains, blockages and smells. A trap that is cleaned regularly keeps grease where it belongs. If you’re dealing with washing-up water that won’t drain away and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease, we can put it right.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.

What grease trap cleaning looks like in Stockland Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 36 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 15 takeaways and sandwich shops across Stockland Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each of them sends fat, oil and grease towards the drain, which is why grease traps need regular emptying. It’s Tunbridge Wells council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stockland Green. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Stockland Green may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Kent and Sussex Hospital, about 1.8 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Stockland Green.
