Grease Trap Services in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

It isn't just about hygiene; it’s about staying on the right side of the law. Under Section 111 of the Water Industry Act 1991, businesses have a legal duty to make sure they aren't dumping grease down the drains. If you've ever had a visit from the water board, you'll know they don't take fatbergs lightly. We help you stay compliant by following the '25% rule'—this means we'll get your trap emptied before the solid waste takes up more than a quarter of the tank's capacity. As a licensed waste carrier, we don't just suck out the muck and leave; we provide the proper paperwork to prove you're disposing of your liquid waste responsibly at a licensed facility.

Every kitchen is different, which is why we don't offer a one-size-fits-all solution. You might have a compact Grease Recovery Unit (GRU) tucked under a prep sink, or perhaps a massive external interceptor buried beneath the car park. Our team has the gear to handle both. We use powerful vacuum tankers and high-pressure water jetting to thoroughly descale and clean your traps, ensuring they work at 100% efficiency. If you're setting up a new site in Trumpington or refurbishing a pub in the city centre, we can also advise on and install the perfect grease management system for your needs, including biological dosing units that use natural enzymes to break down waste.

Most restaurant owners we chat with tell us that an emergency closure is their biggest nightmare. Imagine having to turn away customers on a busy Saturday night because your kitchen is flooding. That's why we're big believers in Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM). By setting up a regular schedule—whether that's monthly, quarterly, or twice a year—we can catch potential blockages before they turn into disasters. It's usually much cheaper to have us visit for a scheduled clean than it is to call us out for an emergency unblocking on a bank holiday! Of course, if the worst does happen, we're always ready to respond quickly across Cambridge and the surrounding 25-mile area.

We aren't just a faceless national firm; we're your local drainage experts based right here in Cambridgeshire. When you call us, you're getting a team that knows the local area and understands the specific challenges of Cambridge's drainage infrastructure. We hold £10 million in public liability insurance and are Construction Line Silver accredited, so you know your property is in safe hands. We pride ourselves on being honest and transparent—you'll get a clear, no-obligation quote upfront with no hidden 'extra' charges once the job is done. From independent cafes to large-scale food processing plants, we've got the skills and the tankers to get the job done right the first time.
