Grease Trap FAQ
What is a grease trap and why is it mandatory for my business?
Grease traps (or grease interceptors) are plumbing devices designed to intercept most greases and solids before they enter a wastewater disposal system. For commercial kitchens, they are vital for preventing fatbergs and blockages in the main sewer lines, ensuring you remain compliant with the Water Industry Act 1991.
How often should I have my grease trap cleaned?
Frequency depends on the size of your trap and the volume of food your kitchen prepares. generally, we recommend a professional deep clean every 1–3 months to prevent build-up, bad odours, and reduced efficiency.
Can I clean the grease trap myself?
While you can perform minor surface cleaning, full clearance requires professional equipment to remove solidified fat and sludge properly. Improper cleaning can lead to damage or immediate re-blocking. RAW Services ensures the waste is removed entirely and disposed of legally.
What are the signs that my grease trap is blocked or full?
Common signs include foul smells coming from the kitchen drains, water draining slowly from sinks, or gurgling sounds in the plumbing. If you notice any of these, it’s time to call us.
Do you provide documentation for environmental compliance?
Yes. After every professional clearance, we provide a waste transfer note. This serves as proof that you are disposing of your FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease) responsibly and in accordance with local environmental health regulations.
Do you install new grease traps if mine is broken?
Absolutely. If your current system is damaged or insufficient for your kitchen's output, RAW Services can advise on and install a modern, efficient grease trap that suits your specific needs.
