Grease Trap Installation and Servicing in Cheshire

Appliances & Specialist

Commercial kitchens produce significant amounts of fat, oil, and grease that shouldn't go directly into the drainage system, since it solidifies inside pipes and causes serious blockages over time. A grease trap intercepts this before it reaches the main drainage, and many commercial premises are required to have one installed as part of their trade waste agreement with the local water company.

Why grease traps matter for commercial kitchens

Without a grease trap, fat and oil from cooking gradually builds up inside drainage pipes, narrowing them over time until blockages become frequent and severe. This isn't just an inconvenience, repeated blockages and the resulting need for emergency drain clearance can be expensive and disruptive to a busy kitchen, and persistent issues can also bring attention from the water company regarding trade waste compliance.

Installation

We size and fit grease traps appropriate to the kitchen's output, whether that's a smaller under-sink unit for a modest café or a larger external grease interceptor for a busier commercial kitchen. Correct sizing matters, since an undersized unit will be overwhelmed quickly and fail to do its job effectively regardless of how often it's serviced.

Regular servicing

Grease traps need regular emptying and cleaning to remain effective. A trap that's been allowed to fill completely no longer captures grease effectively, meaning it can start passing through into the drainage system anyway, defeating the whole purpose of having one installed. We can set up a regular servicing schedule appropriate to your kitchen's output, so the trap stays effective consistently rather than only being checked when problems have already developed.

Compliance considerations

Some water companies require evidence of regular grease trap servicing as part of trade waste agreements for commercial kitchens. We can provide documentation of servicing carried out, which is useful both for your own records and for any compliance checks from your water company.
