Licensed waste partners
We don't carry waste ourselves — collection and disposal are handled by fully licensed waste-carrier partners, with duty-of-care paperwork retained.
The standards our work is built on
Grease trap compliance isn't a matter of opinion. Every Magneté inspection and report is measured against recognised UK and international standards — so your evidence stands up to any water authority or environmental health officer.
01
BS EN 1825
The European standard for grease separators. We assess and size your trap against BS EN 1825 for capacity, flow and correct installation.
02
Water Industry Act 1991
Section 111 makes it an offence to discharge FOG that blocks or damages a public sewer. Our service keeps you on the right side of it.
03
Building Regulations Part H
Part H governs drainage and waste-water disposal. We check your grease management supports Part H-compliant drainage.
04
PDI standards
We reference Plumbing & Drainage Institute testing standards when specifying and verifying grease interceptor performance.
05
ASME A112.14.3 / .4
Internationally recognised grease interceptor construction and performance standards, used to benchmark the units we work with.
What every Magneté inspection covers
Our engineers follow a consistent, documented process on every visit — typically every one to three months — so nothing is missed and everything is recorded for your audit trail.
01
Structural condition
We inspect the trap and lid for cracks, corrosion and damage that could cause leaks or odours.
02
Watertightness
Seals, gaskets and joints are checked for leaks that risk contamination or a failed inspection.
03
Flow-rate testing
We confirm waste water is moving through the system correctly and that FOG can't bypass the trap.
04
Grease & solids levels
Build-up is measured against the 25% rule so cleaning happens before efficiency drops.
05
Correct sizing
We check the unit is correctly sized for your kitchen's load against BS EN 1825 and flag if you need to size up.
06
Pipework & valves
Flow-control valves and pipework are checked for blockages, wear or missing parts.
07
Records review
We review your maintenance and waste-transfer records so your paper trail is complete and audit-ready.
08
Documented report
You receive a dated compliance report with photographic evidence and a digital audit trail after every visit.
Expertise
We combine grease management, compliance insight and live data to help commercial kitchens reduce risk and improve performance.
