Do you supply grease traps as well as install them?

Yes. Actem can help with both system selection and supply, so the owner is not left trying to source equipment separately without clear site guidance.

Can Actem recommend the right grease trap for my kitchen?

Yes. The right option depends on the kitchen layout, grease load, available space, maintenance access and whether the site needs a compact, larger, external or replacement system.

Is replacement always necessary if the current system is underperforming?

Not always. Some sites need a better maintenance approach, some need a resize or relocation, and some do genuinely need replacement. The important thing is to assess the kitchen before jumping to the most expensive answer.

Can you help value-conscious operators compare options?

Yes. A lot of install enquiries are really about getting a sensible recommendation and a commercially realistic option, not being pushed into an oversized or overcomplicated system.

Supply & installation

Commercial grease trap supply and installation for kitchens that need the right system, not a guess.

Actem helps commercial kitchens choose, supply and install grease traps based on layout, grease load, access, servicing needs and budget. The aim is a system that fits the site properly and can be maintained without creating more problems later.

Different ways to handle the job

Some kitchens just need a straightforward install. Others need a more flexible route.

These options are there for staged support, managed plans or trade supply without getting in the way of a normal installation enquiry.

Flexible support options

For sites that want installation and ongoing support wrapped into a more manageable plan.

Straight purchase route

For kitchens that want to buy outright and keep the route to supply and installation simple.

Trade supply

For wholesalers and resellers who need supply flexibility without public website pricing.

Before anything is fitted

Most install enquiries are really about choosing the right system first

A good installation enquiry is usually about more than labour. It is about choosing the right type of grease trap, deciding whether the current setup can be kept, and avoiding the cost of fitting the wrong system.

Selection factors

What actually affects the recommendation

• Kitchen size, menu type and expected grease load
• Available space under-sink, in plant areas or externally
• Access for maintenance, cleaning and future servicing
• Whether the current system is undersized, badly sited or failing
• Whether the site needs a new install, a replacement or just a better-sized option
• Budget, value-for-money expectations and practical install constraints

System options

The kinds of systems commercial kitchens usually end up comparing

Actem can help sites narrow the field properly so the installation route suits the kitchen, layout and grease load.

Under-sink and compact units

Often suited to smaller kitchens and tighter back-of-house layouts where space is limited and the system still needs to be practical to maintain.

Larger above-ground systems

Useful where grease output is higher and the kitchen needs a more substantial arrangement than a small compact trap can realistically support.

Below-ground or external systems

Relevant where site layout, waste volumes or long-term kitchen demand make a larger external or below-ground arrangement more appropriate.

Automatic grease removal options

Worth considering where the kitchen wants a more engineered grease-management setup rather than relying only on simpler passive separation.

Why this matters

Kitchen owners need clear advice before they commit to a new system

Kitchens planning an install usually want straight advice on cost, suitability and replacement, not a vague promise to fit whatever has been mentioned on the phone. Clear guidance helps owners make a better decision first time.

Competitive options matter

Price-sensitive kitchen owners want sensible options and clear reasoning, not a single expensive answer dressed up as expertise.

Supply plus fitting is stronger

If Actem can help with both system choice and installation, kitchen owners should be able to see that clearly instead of guessing what is and is not included.

Servicing after install matters

Kitchen owners are more comfortable appointing an installer who can also support the system afterwards rather than disappearing after the fit.

How the job usually moves

A simple route from survey to supply and installation

Most owners want to know what happens next, how the recommendation is reached and whether the final setup will still be practical to maintain.

Step 01

Review the kitchen and the current setup

Start with the real site conditions: what the kitchen produces, what space is available, whether anything is already installed and what problem needs solving.

Step 02

Recommend the right type of system

The right answer may be a compact unit, a larger trap, an external arrangement or a replacement for a system that is no longer fit for purpose.

Step 03

Supply and install on a practical basis

The aim is to fit a system that suits the kitchen, can be maintained properly and gives the operator a clear, sensible route to supply and installation.
