How to Prepare for a Kitchen Drainage Survey
A kitchen drainage survey is most useful when we can see the real working kitchen — not a polished version with every hatch blocked by stock. A little preparation turns the visit into decisions you can act on.
Before the visit
- Note when problems occur (end of service, weekends, after fryer peaks).
- Confirm where the grease trap or interceptor is and that lids/hatches can be opened.
- Share any previous contractor notes or photos.
- Nominate someone who knows the kitchen flow.
- Tell us about access, parking, and quiet windows.

What we typically inspect
Trap or interceptor condition, signs of FOG beyond the unit, floor drains and sink performance, obvious misuse risks, and whether cleaning intervals match reality. We may recommend drain jetting or a revised clean schedule rather than immediate pipe replacement.
After the survey
You should leave with plain-English priorities: clean now, jet now, adjust cadence, or plan an install/upgrade. Operators across Haxby and the wider York area use surveys this way before summer trading or refits.
A good survey saves money by sequencing work — clean, clear, then invest.
Request a kitchen drainage survey when you want a clear baseline for your FOG and drainage plan.
