Stop blockages and stay compliant​

Cooking oils and fats can cause serious issues with the drains! If not managed, built-up fat can cause blockages and damage to sewers allowing wastewater to escape into the environment. 

If this happens, it’s the business that’s liable, and this can lead to fines or even imprisonment, under Section 111 of the Water Industry Act 1991.

At Lifecycle Oils, we help businesses to stay compliant, protect the environment and prevent costly blockages – providing tailored fat, oil and grease management solutions to fit every requirement.

We provide a comprehensive range of professional, low-maintenance grease traps, filtration systems and skimmers for food businesses, in sizes and configurations to suit every commercial kitchen.

A day in the life with one of our drivers
“The best part of my day is chatting with customers—whether it’s a quick catch-up or helping a new café get started, it’s always something different. No two days are ever the same. It’s also great knowing that what we do makes a real difference—helping businesses run smoothly while supporting sustainability by recycling used oil the right way.”
