Expert Grease Trap Cleaning
& Maintenance in Soham
Professional fat trap solutions for commercial kitchens across Cambridgeshire & East Anglia.

A grease trap is your first line of defence against blocked drains, but it is not a "fit and forget" device. Over time, the trap fills with solidified fat and food debris. If you neglect it, the trap becomes ineffective, allowing grease to escape into your soakaway or the mains sewer. This often leads to foul smells wafting through your dining area, slow-draining sinks, and eventually, a backup of wastewater into your kitchen.

By setting up a regular cleaning schedule with us, you eliminate the risk of emergency shutdowns. We tackle the dirty work so you can focus on serving great food to your customers.

Disposing of FOG is not just about hygiene; it is a legal requirement. Under the Water Industry Act 1991, discharging grease into the public sewer is a criminal offence. Water companies are becoming increasingly strict, using CCTV to trace pollution back to specific properties. If you are found to be the cause of a "fatberg" or sewer blockage, you could face prosecution and the recovery of costs for the cleanup.
Roberts Drainage Ltd takes the headache out of compliance. As a fully licensed waste carrier, we handle your liquid waste disposal responsibly. Every time we perform a service, we provide you with the necessary Waste Transfer Notes. This paperwork is your proof to Environmental Health officers and water inspectors that you are managing your commercial kitchen waste correctly and lawfully.

Sometimes, cleaning isn't enough. If your current system is damaged, undersized for your kitchen's output, or simply reaching the end of its lifespan, you need a replacement. We offer more than just waste removal; we provide full commercial plumbing services to ensure your infrastructure works exactly as it should.
We can advise on the best type of grease management system for your specific needs, whether that is a passive under-sink trap or a larger automatic removal unit. Our engineers handle the entire installation process, ensuring all pipework is connected correctly and sealed tight. If you are noticing persistent issues despite regular cleaning, we can also investigate your drainage network to check for structural defects or downstream blockages.
