Grease Traps
A grease trap also called a grease interceptor, is a device fitted to kitchen drainage systems that captures fats, oils, and grease (FOG) before they reach the main drain line.
Without regular cleaning, they can become clogged, overflow, or let FOG into the system, leading to blockages and even legal issues.
Keep your kitchen running smoothly and compliant with our professional grease trap servicing. Ready Jet Go helps businesses prevent blockages, bad smells, and environmental fines by making sure grease traps are
doing their job properly.
Why Grease Trap Cleaning is Essential
Grease traps play a crucial role in keeping commercial kitchens running smoothly. Without regular cleaning, they can quickly become a source of major problems.
Here’s why staying on top of maintenance is so important:
- Prevents Costly Blockages - Fat, oil, and grease (FOG) can quickly build up in pipes, leading to stubborn blockages that disrupt your operations.
- Improves Hygiene and Air Quality - A clean grease trap helps prevent unpleasant smells, bacterial growth, and potential health hazards in food prep area. When neglected, grease traps can overflow or emit strong odours, impacting hygiene standards and how your business is perceived by customers.
- Meets Legal and Environmental Standards - Grease waste must be managed correctly. Routine cleaning helps you meet all necessary health, safety, and environmental standards.
- Minimises Risk of Emergency Callouts - Preventative maintenance reduces the chance of system failures, helping you avoid unexpected costs, downtime, or closures.
How It Works
01
Initial
Inspection
We begin by inspecting your grease trap to assess fat, oil, and grease (FOG) build up, check for blockages, and ensure all parts are functioning properly. This helps us plan the most effective clean.
02
FOG & Waste Removal
Using specialist equipment, we remove all grease, food solids, and sludge from the trap, including the inlet and outlet pipes. This restores the system’s flow and prevents overflow or smells.
03
Cleaning & Odour Control
Once emptied, we clean the internal surfaces of the grease trap to eliminate lingering odours and reduce future build up. This helps keep your kitchen environment fresh and hygienic.
04
Safe Disposal & Expert Advice
All waste is disposed of legally in line with environmental regulations. We'll also advise on ideal cleaning frequency for your kitchen and flag any potential issues for early action.
When to Book a
Grease Trap Clean
Persistent Foul Odours
If you notice unpleasant smells coming from your drains or kitchen area, it’s often a sign your grease trap is full or not functioning properly.
Slow Draining
Sinks
Grease build up can block your kitchen sinks, leading to water draining slowly or pooling, especially during busy service hours.
Visible Grease in Manholes
Seeing grease in external manholes or signs of overflow indicates your system is backed up and needs immediate attention.
It's Been Over 3 Months
For most commercial kitchens, grease traps should be cleaned at least every
1–3 months. High usage sites may need servicing every 4 weeks.
Advised By
Inspectors
If a food hygiene or environmental health inspector has flagged your grease management, it’s crucial to act quickly to remain compliant.
Increased Kitchen Activity
After busy periods like events, holidays, or seasonal rushes, your grease trap may fill faster than usual and require earlier cleaning.
