Grease Trap Services in Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire

Have you noticed your drains gurgling or water taking forever to disappear down the plug hole? Most kitchen managers we talk to say they know the trap is there, but it is easy to forget about it until it starts causing trouble. When fat and food debris build up, they do not just sit there; they solidify and create massive blockages that can shut down your whole operation. We use high-pressure water jetting to clear out the stubborn bits that regular cleaning misses. By following the 25% rule—meaning your trap gets emptied once it is a quarter full of solids—you can avoid the nightmare of a back-up during your busiest hours.

It is not just about the smell; it is about the law. The Water Industry Act 1991, specifically Section 111, is quite clear about what you can and cannot put down the sewer. If your business is found to be responsible for a fatberg or a sewer blockage because of a neglected grease trap, the fines can be eye-watering. We are licensed waste carriers, which means we do not just pump out the mess and disappear. We handle the disposal responsibly and give you the paperwork you need to prove you are doing things by the book. Whether you have a manual trap under the sink or a large external interceptor, we make sure you stay compliant and avoid any unwanted attention from the water authorities.

Every kitchen in Cambridgeshire is different, so we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Some smaller cafes might only need a visit every few months, while a high-volume restaurant might need a monthly clear-out. We offer Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) contracts that take the guesswork out of the equation. We will assess your setup, look at the volume of food you are producing, and suggest a schedule that keeps everything flowing. It is much cheaper to have us visit for a routine empty than it is to call us out for an emergency drain unblocking when the floor is underwater. We work around your schedule to ensure we are out of the way before your first customer walks through the door.
