Can Actem take over an existing grease trap system?
Many sites already have something in place. The key question is whether the existing setup can be cleaned, serviced and managed properly before anyone jumps straight to replacement.
Practical answer
Yes — existing systems are often the normal starting point
Sites often inherit systems with incomplete maintenance history, unclear suitability or existing grease-related problems. Actem can start from what is already there, review the setup and help decide whether the right route is cleaning, servicing, repair, survey or wider replacement advice.
Why kitchen owners ask this
What usually sits behind the question
- • The site already has a trap or unit installed by another company
- • The system is inherited and the servicing history is unclear
- • The current setup is underperforming and no one is sure what the next sensible step is
- • The site wants practical advice before committing to avoidable replacement work
