Running a restaurant or any food service establishment is no easy feat, and one of the less glamorous tasks is dealing with your grease trap. If you're new to the game, you might be asking yourself, "What's a grease trap and why do I need to empty it?" A grease trap is a large container that separates fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from the wastewater before it enters the sewer system. By doing this, it helps prevent blockages and backups that can cause serious problems and costly repairs.
Now that you know what it is, let's talk about why and how you need to empty it. Over time, all that FOG starts to add up and your grease trap will get full. If you don't take care of it, you'll end up with a stinky, overflowing mess on your hands. So, it's time to get that grease trap emptied and keep your establishment running smoothly.

For commercial kitchens and food-service premises a regular schedule is essential. As a rule of thumb, many units should be emptied every 1-3 months depending on usage, size of the grease trap/interceptor and volume of FOG (fats, oils & grease) produced.
Typical indicators include bad odours around the trap area, slow-draining sinks or dish-washers, visible grease or sludge rising towards the outlet pipe, and increased risk of blockages downstream. Recognising these early prevents system failure and costly shutdowns.
Our professional service includes safely removing accumulated FOG, sludge and food solids, thoroughly cleaning or jet-blasting the internals if required, correctly disposing of the waste under licence, and providing a full service report and Waste Transfer Note for your records.
We plan visits to minimise disruption. Many grease trap services can be done outside peak hours, the trap is returned to service quickly, and our team ensures minimal impact on your commercial kitchen workflow while maintaining hygiene and compliance standards.
Regularly emptied and maintained grease traps reduce the risk of blocked drains, fatbergs in the sewer system, foul smells, hygiene issues, and environmental compliance breaches. They help your business stay operational, safe and compliant.
Please ensure clear, safe access to the grease trap or interceptor, identify any internal or external covers, inform our team if the trap serves a high-volume commercial kitchen or heavy usage site, and have any past maintenance records ready to help us tailor the service to your system.
