Grease Trap Cleaning

Grease traps are essential for commercial kitchens, separating fats, oils, and grease from wastewater before it enters the drainage system. Without regular cleaning, grease traps overflow, lose effectiveness, and cause blockages, odours, and regulatory non-compliance.

Grease Trap Cleaning usually becomes urgent when recurring symptoms begin affecting programme confidence, compliance, or delivery reliability.

Situations where this applies

Teams usually investigate grease trap cleaning when early warning signs start affecting reliability, compliance, or project timelines. This is often the point where decision makers move from observation into scoped technical action.

Signs and common situations

The symptoms below are the most common triggers we see before diagnosis and repair planning.

• Grease trap approaching full capacity
• Foul smells coming from the grease trap
• Grease bypassing the trap into the drainage system
• Slow drainage from kitchen fixtures
• Environmental health inspection due

What the work typically involves

We inspect the grease trap, assess its capacity and condition, and check whether it's appropriately sized for your kitchen's output. We also inspect downstream drainage to check for grease that may have bypassed the trap.

Practical steps to a reliable outcome

We pump out and clean the grease trap, removing all accumulated FOG. We inspect the baffles and seals, make any necessary repairs, and dispose of the waste in compliance with environmental regulations. We set up a regular schedule based on your kitchen's usage.

What drives programme and budget

Cost and complexity usually depend on access constraints, total scope, existing condition, and whether related works need to be coordinated in the same programme window.

How delivery is structured

We keep delivery structured so scope, sequencing, and sign-off remain clear.

1. Step 1: Initial assessment

   What this step delivers: Root cause and scope are confirmed.

2. Step 2: Method planning

   What this step delivers: Practical repair strategy is agreed.

3. Step 3: Delivery and verification

   What this step delivers: Work is completed and validated.
