Experience & expertise
Proper management of fats, oils and grease (FOG) is critical for any commercial kitchen.
At Trent’s Drains, we specialise in grease trap installation, replacement, maintenance, repair, and FOG removal services for businesses across Bristol, Reading, Bath, Cardiff, Newport, Gloucester, Swindon, Chippenham, Weston-super-Mare, Taunton, Somerset and Wiltshire.
From restaurants, cafés and bakeries to hotels, hospitals, schools and food manufacturing units, our services ensure your drainage system remains clear, compliant, and reliable even under heavy use.
We understand that kitchens operate under tight regulatory demands and hygiene standards. Our team provides 24/7 emergency support, scheduled maintenance plans, and fully insured professional workmanship to keep your grease interceptors in top condition.
In a commercial kitchen, fats, oils, grease and food solids flow into your drainage network. If left unchecked, they congeal and build up within pipes, leading to blockages, backups, foul odours, and operational downtime. Additionally, discharging untreated FOG into public sewers can lead to environmental violations, fines, and legal liability.
Key risks and reasons to engage professional grease trap services include:
By installing, maintaining, and servicing grease traps properly, you mitigate these risks and ensure uninterrupted kitchen operations.

We prepare the location, connect to existing drainage, and install the new trap with minimal disruption — often scheduling work outside your busiest hours.
Our engineers perform periodic cleaning per a maintenance plan (e.g. monthly, quarterly, whatever’s needed). We remove FOG and solids, flush internal surfaces, and confirm operation.
Using visual checks or CCTV inspections, we monitor FOG build-up, structural condition, and potential blockages.
After each service, you receive a detailed report with photos, consumption data, condition findings, and recommended service timing.
For urgent situations where trap failure or blockage occurs, our 24/7 team can respond rapidly to restore functionality and prevent system backups.
As a local operator, we can respond quickly, plan maintenance visits in your region efficiently, and schedule around your operational hours to minimize disruption.
Frequent service visits, internal cleaning, and compliance audits prevented sewer authority fines.
Replaced old corroded grease trap and introduced FOG management plan — now operates more efficiently.
We installed a multi-chamber grease interceptor with cleaning contracts and prevented repeated drain blockages.
A device installed in commercial kitchens to intercept fats, oils, and grease (FOG) and solids before wastewater enters the sewer network.
Typically every 1 to 3 months, depending on usage, kitchen size and local regulations. Frequent cleaning prevents buildup and reduces blockage risk.
Yes. In many regions, commercial kitchens are legally required to install, maintain and empty grease interceptors to prevent FOG entering public sewers. Non-compliance can result in fines.
Failure can lead to severe drain blockages, health hazards, foul odours, sewer backups, structural damage and regulatory penalties.
Minor damage (cracks, leaks, faulty baffles) can often be repaired. In more severe cases, full replacement may be necessary. Our team assesses and advises appropriately.
