Grease Trap Installation & Compliance Services
Grease Trap Installation & Compliance Services in Wallington & Nearby Areas
If you’re running a restaurant, takeaway, café, or any commercial kitchen in Wallington, having a properly installed and maintained grease trap isn’t just good practice—it’s a legal requirement enforced by Thames Water.
Marching-On 24/7 Plumbing provides expert grease trap installation and compliance services in Wallington and surrounding South London areas, ensuring your kitchen meets all necessary regulations and avoids costly fines or business disruptions.
Why Do You Need a Grease Trap in Wallington?
Every commercial kitchen produces fats, oils, and grease (FOG). Without proper management, FOG quickly builds up in pipes, causing serious blockages, odours, and even health hazards. Thames Water takes this issue seriously—commercial kitchens without approved grease management solutions face fines or could even have their water connection blocked.
A professionally installed grease trap is the simplest, most effective way to keep your kitchen compliant and protected.
Thames Water Regulations—Stay Compliant
Thames Water explicitly requires all commercial food businesses to:
- Install a properly sized and accessible grease trap
- Maintain and regularly clean grease traps to ensure effective operation
- Keep detailed written records of all cleaning and maintenance activities
- Ensure grease waste is disposed of responsibly through registered waste carriers
Failing to meet these requirements could result in:
- Legal action under Section 111 of the Water Industry Act
- Substantial fines and penalties
- Increased plumbing issues, kitchen downtime, and costly repairs
We don’t just install grease traps—we ensure you fully understand and meet your legal responsibilities.

Real Work - Real Results
Paradise Biryani Pointe, a busy restaurant in Wallington, was recently visited by Thames Water and narrowly avoided a fine due to non-compliance with grease management regulations. They had no grease trap installed and urgently needed a reliable solution.
As their regular plumbing maintenance contractor, they approached me directly. Initially, there wasn’t much clear guidance available, so I took responsibility—researching extensively, speaking directly with Thames Water, and becoming fully knowledgeable about grease trap sizing, installation guidelines, and compliance requirements.
I then professionally installed a correctly sized grease trap that fully met Thames Water standards, advised the owners on proper maintenance practices, and supplied detailed records to help them easily manage future compliance checks. As a result, they avoided fines and have had no further compliance issues since.
