Old or damaged drainage interceptors often cause blockages, foul smells, flooding, and drainage system failures. Our professional interceptor removal service removes redundant or faulty interceptors safely and restores your drainage system to full working order.
We carry out interceptor removal for homes, commercial premises, and industrial sites, and we complete all work in line with current drainage regulations.
A drainage interceptor—such as a grease trap, oil interceptor, or silt interceptor—prevents grease, oils, fuel, and debris from entering the main drainage system. Over time, however, these units can block, deteriorate, or become unnecessary due to changes in how a property is used.
As a result, when an interceptor fails or becomes redundant, full removal often provides the most effective long-term solution.
You may need interceptor removal if any of the following issues occur:
Firstly, the interceptor has permanently blocked or collapsed
Additionally, inspection chambers release persistent foul smells
Moreover, drainage blockages continue to recur
In some cases, regulations no longer require the interceptor
For example, renovation or redevelopment changes drainage requirements
Finally, a CCTV drain survey reveals structural failure
If left unresolved, a faulty interceptor can lead to ongoing drainage problems and increasingly expensive repairs.
To minimise disruption, we follow a clear and structured removal process:
Firstly, we carry out a CCTV drain survey to assess the interceptor and surrounding pipework
Next, we excavate carefully to access the interceptor chamber
Then, we remove the interceptor unit safely
After that, we reconfigure the drains or install replacement pipework
Finally, we backfill and reinstate the ground surface
Throughout the process, our experienced drainage engineers use professional equipment and proven methods to ensure reliable results.
Removing a faulty or redundant interceptor delivers several key benefits:
✅ As a result, recurring blockages stop
✅ Consequently, foul odours disappear at the source
✅ Furthermore, overall drainage flow improves
✅ In the long term, maintenance costs reduce
✅ Importantly, future drainage failures become less likely
✅ Where required, compliance is fully restored
In many cases, interceptor removal proves far more reliable than repeated cleaning or temporary repairs.
