Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in The Stocks
Every trap is different. Under-sink traps are compact and need frequent attention, while inline traps and interceptors hold more. We assess the trap and how fast it fills and suggest an interval that suits. We’re often asked to deal with gurgling from the sink waste and an interceptor full of grease and solids, on kitchen waste pipes, under-sink grease traps and inline grease traps.
Work in a small place like The Stocks starts with agreeing a date and access.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are 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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
The Stocks kitchens: local notes
The Stocks is about 49 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Ashford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in The Stocks. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
For schools such as Wittersham Church of England Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays. Smallhythe Place, about 2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses around The Stocks; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.
The Stocks is about 11 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Whatever kind of site you run in The Stocks, we can take on grease trap cleaning. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. The Stocks is one of 922 places in Kent we cover for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Maidstone, about 19 miles away.
Our technicians cover all of TN30 for grease trap cleaning and the roads nearby. If you need grease trap cleaning at premises on Stocks Road, Budd's Lane and Wittersham Road or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. Nearby, we also carry out grease trap cleaning in Acton (1 mile north), Wittersham (1 mile west), Stone Corner (1 mile north), Stone in Oxney (2 miles east) and Reading Street (2 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Ashford (11 miles north-east), Tenterden (4 miles north), Kennington (13 miles north-east), New Romney (10 miles east), Staplehurst (13 miles north-west) and Stanhope (10 miles north-east).
Near you in The Stocks
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Ewe And Lamb Inn, among other places. The closest station to The Stocks is Rye station, about 4.2 miles south of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Smallhythe Place (2 miles north-west) and Ypres Tower (4.4 miles south). For a walk, there’s Flatropers Wood.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pot wash sinks
- Under-sink grease traps
- School and care home kitchens
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Inline grease traps
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us when sinks start draining slowly
- Book trap cleans at a set interval
- Wipe grease off pans before washing them
- Keep waste oil out of the drains
You’ll get our view on how often the trap needs cleaning. It’s based on how full it was and how much the kitchen cooks.
If the kitchen has got busier, the trap fills faster. Shortening the cleaning interval now keeps the drains flowing.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Questions from The Stocks
Do you work overnight in The Stocks?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like The Stocks?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and The Stocks is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do you deal with blocked drains beyond the grease trap?
Cleaning the trap deals with the grease it holds and that may solve a slow drain caused by the trap. A blockage deeper in the drains needs a drainage specialist.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do you take the waste away?
We take it away. There’s nothing left for your team to deal with once the clean is done.
Do you need grease trap cleaning in The Stocks?
Waste cooking oil poured down the sink overloads the trap fast. Even small amounts add up.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- A small trap that fills too quickly
- Washing-up water that won’t drain away
- Gurgling from the sink waste
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in The Stocks, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
