Grease Trap Services in Downham Market, Norfolk

It’s not just about keeping the drains flowing; it’s about meeting your legal obligations. Under Section 111 of the Water Industry Act 1991, commercial kitchens in the King's Lynn and West Norfolk area have a strict duty to prevent Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) from entering the public sewer. If the water authority finds that your business is responsible for a fatberg down the road, you could be looking at some very hefty fines. We help you stay compliant by following the '25% Rule'—essentially, once your trap is a quarter full of solids, it’s time for a clean. As a fully licensed waste carrier, we don’t just empty your trap; we ensure every litre of waste is disposed of legally and responsibly at an approved facility.

Why risk a DIY job or a cut-price contractor when you can have the professionals handle it? We use powerful vacuum tankers and high-pressure water jetting to give your grease trap a proper, deep clean. We don't just skim the grease off the top; we remove the heavy sludge from the bottom that often causes the worst smells and blockages. Whether you’re a small cafe in the heart of Downham Market or a large food processing plant near King's Lynn, we have the kit to get the job done right. We can even look at your pipes using our CCTV drain surveys to make sure no grease has escaped further down the line.

Most business owners we talk to prefer to avoid emergencies altogether. That’s where our Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) comes in. Instead of waiting for a flood, we’ll set up a schedule to visit your site at a time that doesn't disrupt your service—usually early morning or late evening. This regular 'MOT' for your drainage system means we catch potential issues early. We can also advise on biological dosing or the installation of automated Grease Recovery Units (GRUs) if your current system isn't coping with your volume of work. It’s a bit like insurance; you’ll have total peace of mind knowing your kitchen won't be shut down by a preventable blockage.

Are you refitting a kitchen or starting a new venture in Norfolk? Getting the right grease management system installed from day one is vital. We don't just empty tanks; our civils and groundworks team can handle the full installation of new interceptors and grease traps. We’ll make sure the unit is sized correctly for your kitchen’s output and situated so that it's easy to maintain in the future. Because we also specialise in commercial plumbing and mechanical works, we can ensure the internal pipework is designed to prevent grease from settling before it even reaches the trap.
