Maintenance frequency depends on your kitchen volume and council trade waste agreements. Typically, we recommend a routine inspection schedule to prevent grease build-up and drainage failure.

Does the City of Newcastle Council have specific grease trap rules?

Yes, local councils require proper management of trade waste to protect infrastructure. Our services ensure your maintenance records meet all necessary local compliance standards.

How do you handle older pipes in Shortland?

We aim for a 60-minute target for urgent calls within our service areas. For scheduled grease trap cleaning, we coordinate with your business hours to ensure minimal disruption.
