Grease Trap Treatment & Drain Chemicals

Grease Trap Treatment & Drain Chemicals for Commercial Kitchens

Ascot Wholesale supplies grease trap treatment and drain maintenance chemicals to restaurants, hotels and commercial kitchens across the UK, at trade prices. Our range covers both biological and chemical treatments, so kitchens can keep grease traps compliant with UK water byelaws and free-flowing between professional emptying. Whatever the size of your kitchen, we hold stock ready to ship in bulk.

Why Grease Trap Maintenance Matters

Fat, oil and grease build up fast in a working kitchen, and untreated traps block drains, cause bad odours and trigger expensive emergency call-outs. Stocking grease trap cleaning products on-site means staff can act between scheduled emptying rather than waiting for a problem to surface. Under the Water Industry Act 1991, discharging FOG that interferes with public sewers is a criminal offence – so regular grease trap treatment isn’t optional, it’s how you stay on the right side of the law. Bacterial dosing between professional cleans keeps the trap working and keeps you off your water authority’s radar.

FAQ

What is grease trap treatment and why do commercial kitchens need it?

Grease trap treatment breaks down fat, oil and grease before it hardens in pipes and traps. Kitchens need it because untreated FOG blocks drains, causes odours and can lead to discharge that breaches UK water byelaws – leaving the operator liable for the cost of the fix.

Do you supply grease trap maintainer in bulk?

Yes. We stock grease trap maintainer and commercial grease cleaner in bulk, priced for trade buyers who need consistent supply across one site or several.

How often should grease trap treatment be applied?

Most kitchens dose weekly, with high-volume sites applying grease cleaning chemicals more frequently to keep pace with fryer and wash-up output. Treatment works alongside – not instead of – scheduled professional emptying.

Is grease trap treatment a legal requirement?

There’s no single blanket law forcing every kitchen to install a grease trap, but discharging FOG into public sewers is a criminal offence under the Water Industry Act 1991. In practice, that makes ongoing drain maintenance chemicals and grease trap treatment the standard way commercial kitchens stay compliant.

Is there a minimum order?

No minimum order on our grease management range – order what your kitchen needs, when it needs it.

Do you offer trade accounts?

Yes. Set up a trade account with Ascot Wholesale for repeat ordering, invoicing and consistent trade pricing on grease trap treatment and the wider cleaning chemicals range.
