About our grease trap cleaning in Stone in Oxney
Think of the grease trap as a filter for the kitchen’s drains. Kept clean, it does its job quietly, but neglected, it causes blockages and smells. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. If you are dealing with a larger grease trap that needs emptying and an under-sink unit that needs regular emptying, we can help.
Work in a small place like Stone in Oxney starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Stone in Oxney run smoothly.
- We find the trap and check how it’s connected.
- We ask for the sinks that drain into the trap not to be used.
- Built-up fat, oil and grease is removed from the trap.
- Every part of the trap is scraped and cleaned, including the baffles.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Common questions in Stone in Oxney
Which environmental health team covers Stone in Oxney?
Food hygiene inspections in Stone in Oxney are carried out by Ashford council. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you work overnight in Stone in Oxney?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Stone in Oxney doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is Stone in Oxney in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Stone in Oxney, within the South East and London area we cover.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What does a grease trap clean cost?
The price depends on the trap and the schedule. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will quote so you know the cost up front.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What happens if it’s left?
Once the trap is full, grease heads for the drain. It hardens on the pipe walls, until the drain blocks. Cleaning the trap regularly is far easier than clearing a blocked drain. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Make sure the trap can be reached easily
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we’ve finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
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.
