Expert FOG Removal & Grease Trap Cleaning
Across Clayton-Le-Moors & Accrington, Lancashire& The North West of England
Fully compliant environmental disposal. Trusted commercial drainage specialists with over 100 5-star reviews and £5m public liability insurance.

We follow a rigorous process to ensure your drainage system is thoroughly sanitised and compliant with industry standards. Our team begins with a comprehensive inspection of your grease interceptor or trap to assess the level of accumulation. Using specialist equipment, including high-pressure water jetting and professional-grade vacuum suction, we remove all waste materials while ensuring the structural integrity of your pipework remains intact. Following the physical clearance, we perform a thorough inspection to ensure no residual grease remains in downstream pipework. All collected waste is transported and disposed of at licensed facilities in full accordance with Environment Agency regulations, providing you with peace of mind that your business is meeting its duty of care.

Under Section 111 of the Water Industry Act 1991, it is a legal requirement to ensure that no material passes into public sewers that could cause damage or blockages. In the North West, United Utilities has strict guidelines regarding effluent discharge from commercial kitchens. Failure to adhere to these standards, or to maintain equipment like grease traps in line with Building Regulations Part H and BS EN 1825 standards, can lead to severe financial penalties and legal action from local environmental health officers. By partnering with us, you ensure your kitchen remains audit-ready and compliant at all times.

How often should grease traps be cleaned? The frequency depends on the volume of food produced and the size of your trap; typically, we recommend a scheduled programme to prevent overflows.

Do you provide documentation for inspections? Yes, we provide clear reporting on all work carried out, which is essential for your environmental health compliance records.
