Grease Trap Services for Restaurants
Running a restaurant kitchen means dealing with fat, oil and grease every single day, and where that grease ends up matters more than most people realise. Left unmanaged, it builds up in your drainage system, causes blockages, triggers unpleasant odours and can even lead to costly fines for non-compliance. That's where we come in.
At serious**, we provide grease trap installation, servicing and removal for restaurants, pubs, hotels and catering businesses across the UK. Whether you're setting up a new kitchen or your current system needs a health check, our waste management team helps you stay compliant, hygienic and fatberg-free.
Why Restaurants Need a Grease Trap
Every commercial kitchen produces fats, oils and grease (FOG) as a by-product of cooking. Without a grease trap in place, this FOG flows straight into your drainage system, where it cools, solidifies and sticks to pipe walls. Over time, this build-up narrows pipework, slows drainage and can eventually cause a full blockage.
At serious**, we install and maintain grease traps to intercept fat, oil and grease before it reaches the main sewer network, separating it from wastewater so only clean water continues through your drainage system.
Professional Grease Trap Installations for Restaurants Across the UK
Getting your grease trap installation right from the start saves a lot of hassle further down the line. Our team assesses your kitchen layout, cooking volume and drainage setup to recommend the right system for your restaurant, whether that's a below-ground passive grease trap, an above-ground unit, or an automatic solution like the Big Dipper GRU.
We handle the full installation process, from initial site survey through to fitting and commissioning, so your kitchen is compliant and ready to go from day one.
Grease Removal & Emptying Services
A grease trap only works if it's emptied regularly. Our grease removal and tankering services ensure fat, oil and grease is safely extracted, transported and disposed of in line with environmental regulations. Regular removal keeps your system running efficiently, reduces odours, and prevents the kind of blockages that lead to expensive emergency callouts.
We work around your service hours to minimise disruption, so grease removal fits into your schedule rather than the other way round.
Preventing Fatbergs for UK Restaurants
Fatbergs, the huge, solidified masses of fat, oil, grease and non-flushable waste that clog sewer networks, are a growing problem for restaurants and local authorities alike. A single kitchen with a poorly maintained or missing grease trap can contribute significantly to fatberg formation further down the drainage network.
Regular grease trap servicing and removal is one of the most effective ways to prevent fatbergs before they start. If you're already dealing with a blockage, our team also provides fatberg removal to clear your system quickly and get things flowing again.
Grease Recovery Units and Automatic Systems
For busy restaurant kitchens, an automatic system like a Grease Recovery Unit or a Big Dipper can take a lot of the manual work out of grease management. These units automatically separate and collect FOG throughout the day, reducing the need for frequent manual emptying and helping high-volume kitchens stay compliant with less day-to-day effort.
Our specialist team can advise on whether an automatic grease recovery system suits your restaurant, or whether a traditional passive grease trap with a regular tankering schedule is the better fit.
