Fat, Oil and Grease (FOG) Is Quietly Costing You Money
Our Grease Traps :

- Fully compliant, fully documented
- Reduces Environmental Impact
Our premier Grease Trap Cleaning service is designed to remove one more headache, so your commercial kitchen can run more smoothly.
If your kitchen produces fat, oil or grease — and almost every commercial kitchen does — it has to go somewhere. Left unmanaged, FOG doesn’t disappear down the drain. It cools, solidifies and builds up inside your pipework, and eventually it becomes somebody else’s emergency: a blocked drain, a flooded kitchen floor, an environmental incident, or a call from your local water company asking why your premises has been flagged.
YourDrainExperts now offers a fully managed Grease Trap Cleaning, Rental and FOG Disposal service across the KT, TW and SM postcode areas. Whether you need a brand-new grease management system installed from scratch, or simply want a reliable, compliant cleaning and waste collection contract for a trap you already have, our engineers handle the whole process — so you don’t have to.
The Problems We Solve
Most businesses only think about their grease trap once it’s already causing a problem. By then, it’s usually cost them in one of these ways:
Blocked Pipework
Untreated FOG builds up on the inside of drainage pipes like cholesterol in an artery. Over time this restricts flow, causes slow-draining sinks, and eventually leads to full blockages — often at the worst possible moment, mid-service.
Costly Downtime
A blocked drain or an overflowing grease trap doesn't wait for a convenient time. Emergency call-outs mean kitchens closing, service stopping, and revenue lost — all for a problem that scheduled maintenance would have prevented.
Odour Issues
A neglected grease trap is a breeding ground for bacteria, pests and unpleasant odours. That's a health and safety liability for staff, and a reputational risk if customers or diners notice.
Compliance and Environmental Risk
Water companies have a legal duty to keep public sewers free-flowing, and FOG discharge is one of the most common causes of sewer blockages and pollution incidents. Businesses that don't manage FOG correctly risk enforcement action, fines, and being held liable under their Duty of Care for waste — as well as reputational damage if an incident is traced back to their premises.
The Burden of DIY Management
Even where a grease trap is already installed, many businesses are left to monitor it, clean it, and arrange waste collection themselves — pulling kitchen staff away from paid work to do a job they're not trained for, using equipment that isn't designed for the task.
A Done-For-You Managed Service — Not Just a Grease Trap
This isn’t a one-off clean or a piece of equipment we drop off and leave you to manage. It’s a fully managed service, built around your business and your operating hours.
Our engineers will:
- Survey your kitchen and recommend the right system for your kitchen size, cover count and existing drainage
- Supply and install a grease trap or FOG management system — replacing or supplementing whatever you already have in place
- Monitor the system on a scheduled basis, so it never reaches a point of failure
- Collect, remove and dispose of the FOG waste in a sealed unit, cleaned off-site to reduce odours and mess on your premises
- Provide full paperless waste transfer documentation for every visit, ready for compliance audits
Because it’s delivered on a flexible, scheduled contract, maintenance visits are planned around your service times — not squeezed in as an emergency. Your kitchen stays open, your staff stay focused on the job they’re paid to do, and the grease trap is simply never your problem to think about.
Why Businesses Are Switching to a Managed FOG Service
If you’re about to move into a rental property, we also recommend you conduct an independent video drain survey of your own. This will confirm that your drains are clear and in functioning order. You will also have insurance as it means that if there is any damage after that point, it is the landlords fault.
We’ve heard many stories about rental properties (especially apartments) where the current tenants are liable because the previous tenants blocked the pipes with nappies and cooking waste. Don’t risk it! Book your underground pipe inspection.

Grease Trap Cleaning Testimonials
RATS! RATS! RATS! In my drains and in my house in Staines. I needed a CCTV survey to check to see how the blighters were getting in. They found a gap that was exposed and fixed it. Also installed rats flaps to ensure it couldn't happen again. Happy now. Very good service.
We had a blockage in the drains at our shop in Wimbledon. Your Drain Experts were fast to respond and used their CCTV camera to find a blockage of dead rodents. Not pleasant, but they removed the blockage and our drains were good afterwards. Great job. - Darren
Your Drain Experts provided exceptional service for a CCTV drain survey at our rental property in Basingstoke. The team was professional, punctual, and explained everything clearly. The detailed report helped us pinpoint an issue quickly, saving us time and money. Highly recommend them for reliable and efficient drainage solutions. Truly a 5-star experience!
I called Your Drain Experts for a drain survey for a rental property I was buying in Wood Street Village, near Guildford. I've been stung before on a previous property that had awful drains, so I didn't want to take any chances this time. The YDE team were professional, thorough and delivered a CCTV drain report once completed. Got the result I needed. Will use again.
Grease Trap & FOG Disposal FAQs
Everything you need to know about grease trap rental, cleaning and FOG waste compliance.
A grease trap (or grease interceptor) is a plumbing device that captures fats, oils and grease from kitchen wastewater before it reaches the public sewer. Without one, FOG builds up in your pipework and in the wider sewer network, leading to blockages, odours and potential pollution incidents. Most commercial kitchens are required by their local water company to have an effective FOG control measure in place.
FOG stands for Fats, Oils and Grease — the by-products of cooking, food preparation and dishwashing in a commercial kitchen. When washed down a drain, FOG cools and solidifies, sticking to the inside of pipework and gradually restricting or blocking flow.
Both options are available. Our rental service supplies, installs and manages a grease trap on your behalf, with no capital outlay — you pay for the service, not the equipment. If you already own a system, we can take over cleaning and disposal only, on the same scheduled, contractual basis.
This depends on the size of your kitchen, your covers, and the type of food prepared. During your free site survey, we’ll recommend a cleaning schedule based on actual usage, then adjust it if needed — rather than applying a generic one-size-fits-all interval.
No. Because visits are scheduled in advance and planned around your working day, maintenance and collection can take place without interrupting service. This is one of the main reasons businesses move away from reactive, emergency-only arrangements.
No. This is a fully done-for-you service — our engineers handle supply, installation, monitoring, cleaning and disposal. Your staff never need to interact with the system, and no in-house training is required.
No. Our systems are designed to operate without a dedicated water or power connection, which keeps installation simple and avoids additional utility costs.
It’s delivered entirely as a service. There’s no equipment to purchase outright, which removes the capital expenditure barrier that often delays businesses from upgrading an ageing or undersized system.
Waste is removed from site in a sealed unit and cleaned off-site, which significantly reduces odours and mess at your premises. It’s then disposed of through licensed, compliant waste channels.
Every visit is recorded with paperless waste transfer and job documentation, giving you a clear compliance trail for Environmental Health Officer visits, water company audits, or your own internal Duty of Care records.
Water companies operating under the Water Industry Act have powers to require commercial premises to control trade effluent discharge, including FOG. Businesses also have a Duty of Care under UK waste regulations to ensure waste is stored, transferred and disposed of correctly. Failing to manage FOG adequately can result in enforcement notices, fines, or liability for sewer blockages traced back to your premises.
Yes. We can replace an outdated, undersized or failing system entirely, or supplement your current setup if it simply needs a reliable cleaning and disposal contract behind it.
We currently provide this managed service across the KT (Kingston upon Thames), TW (Twickenham, Richmond, Hounslow) and SM (Sutton, Carshalton) postcode areas, with scheduled, route-planned visits throughout.
Book a free, no-obligation site survey. We’ll assess your kitchen and current setup, then recommend either a full rental system or a cleaning-and-disposal-only contract, with a schedule and pricing tailored to your business.
