Grease Trap Cleaning Services in Ireland – Protect Your Drains & Stay Compliant


Grease trap cleaning is a legal and essential service for any commercial kitchen or food service establishment in Ireland. At McBreen Environmental, we specialise in FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease) waste removal and scheduled grease trap cleaning services, ensuring your systems remain clean, odour-free, and fully compliant with Irish Water regulations.


With depots in Cavan, Dublin, Galway, Louth, Roscommon, and Cork, we offer nationwide coverage, quick response times, and service contracts tailored to hotels, restaurants, cafés, takeaways, and more.


Why Is Grease Trap Cleaning Important?


Fats, oils, and grease from food preparation cannot be treated by standard wastewater systems. If left unmaintained, grease traps can:


  • Overflow or become blocked

  • Cause foul odours in kitchens or waste areas

  • This leads to serious sewer blockages

  • Result in non-compliance fines from Irish Water


It is a legal requirement in Ireland to have your grease trap cleaned a minimum of four times per year. Failure to do so could lead to enforcement action and environmental damage.


What’s Included in Our Grease Trap Cleaning Service?


  • Full removal of grease, sludge, and waste build-up

  • Jetting of inlet and outlet lines (if required)

  • Visual inspection of grease trap condition

  • Optional grease dosing unit installation (LDS 2) to prevent future build-up

  • Waste transported to a licensed disposal facility

  • Full documentation to support regulatory compliance


All work is carried out by trained operatives using modern, eco-friendly equipment in line with the latest Irish environmental and health regulations.


Who We Work With


We provide tailored grease trap cleaning contracts to:


  • Hotels and Guest Houses

  • Restaurants and Cafés

  • Golf Clubs and Leisure Venues

  • Commercial Kitchens and Canteens

  • Takeaways, Food Courts, and Franchises


Whether you require a one-off clean or a full annual maintenance plan, we can build a service to suit your site and kitchen capacity.


Add-On: Grease Dosing Units (LDS 2)


To further protect your drains between scheduled cleans, we can install automatic grease dosing units. These systems release a biological solution to help break down fats and oils, keeping your pipework clearer and reducing odour build-up.
