What is a grease trap?

Essential protection for every commercial kitchen in London

With the growth of restaurants, bistros and other food processing establishments, grease traps have played a pivotal role in preventing grease and fat — known as controlled waste — from entering the local authority sewer. Grease traps vary in size from compact units installed under kitchen sinks to larger interceptors installed underground. Under environmental legislation, most commercial kitchens in London are legally required to have one.

FAQ

Common questions about grease traps in London

A grease trap (also called a grease interceptor) is a plumbing device that captures grease, fat and oil — known as controlled waste — before it enters the local authority sewer. They are a legal requirement for most commercial kitchens in London, including restaurants, cafes, hotels and food processing facilities. Grease traps range in size from under-sink units to large underground interceptors.
Most commercial grease traps require cleaning every one to three months depending on the volume of cooking and the size of the unit. High-volume kitchens such as restaurants and hotels may need more frequent servicing. A planned maintenance programme ensures your trap stays compliant and prevents costly blockages.
Neglected grease traps overflow, causing blocked drains and backups in kitchen pipework. Grease entering the sewer system is an environmental offence and can result in fines from the local water authority. Regular cleaning prevents these issues and keeps your kitchen compliant with environmental legislation.
