Over 75% of sewer blockages in the UK are caused by fat, oil, and grease (FOG), and the problem has only grown as our eating habits have changed in recent times. However, all businesses that deal with hot food are now required by law to install and maintain a grease trap - a device that captures and separates fats, oils, and grease from the wastewater discharged by commercial kitchens.

Manual grease traps should be maintained daily and deep cleaned every one to three months, depending on their size and how much they are used. A regular cleaning schedule is the best way to avoid kitchen downtime and unnecessary costs to your business. Makes and models can vary, but most passive grease traps can be cleaned by following these steps.

A grease trap is designed to prevent these materials from entering and clogging the sewer, which can cause backups and severe blockages (known as fatbergs) that can completely block a sewer pipe.

It’s important to log that the grease trap has been cleaned and dispose of removed FOG with a registered waste removal carrier, ensuring you get a waste transfer note in accordance with Environment Agency rules.

There are various types of grease traps available, broadly including above-ground grease traps and below-ground grease traps. Some models work automatically to remove FOG from your wastewater, and require little to no regular maintenance. However, for reasons of space, expense and usage, many businesses opt for manual stainless steel grease trap (SSGT) systems that work passively and require regular cleaning.
