Surveys & compliance support

Grease trap surveys that give you a clear recommendation.

Actem provides free no-obligation surveys and practical compliance support for sites that need to understand their current setup and what to do next.

What is included

A survey should lead to clear action

  • Free no-obligation site surveys
  • Practical review of the current grease management setup
  • Recommendations based on kitchen layout, waste profile and site constraints
  • Support when a site has received a water company or compliance-related letter
  • Advice on whether a system needs servicing, replacement, resizing or installing

Typical triggers

Common reasons to request a survey

  • You have received a letter from a water company
  • A landlord or facilities team is asking for evidence or recommendations
  • The current grease trap arrangement is unclear or likely not fit for purpose
  • A kitchen refit or operational change means the old setup may no longer work

Documentation that actually helps

Compliance pressure is usually easier when the paperwork is not vague

A lot of survey-driven enquiries are really evidence problems. The kitchen needs a clearer record of what is in place, what condition it is in and what recommendation can be justified if someone asks questions later.

  • A clear survey recommendation explaining what is already on site and what should happen next
  • Service history or visit records where the current setup is already being maintained
  • Photos or condition notes showing whether the system looks neglected, undersized or unsuitable
  • Waste-transfer and disposal paperwork where collections form part of the existing service route
  • A clearer response when a water company, landlord or facilities team wants evidence instead of guesswork

Seen in practice

Typical survey-to-response situations

This usually matters when the operator needs to reply to a water company, reassure a landlord, explain the issue internally or decide whether the real answer is servicing, replacement or a better ongoing setup.

Need a grease trap survey for a commercial kitchen?

If a site needs assessing because of compliance pressure, blocked drains, an unclear setup or a likely undersized system, Actem can establish what is in place and what should happen next.
