Kitchen drain and grease trap treatment for care homes, schools and catering sites.

Care home and school catering kitchens serve high volumes on tight budgets, with no room in the rota for emergency drain call-outs or complaints from residents, staff or parents. J-All's biological grease trap and drain treatment keeps FOG under control, removes the sweet-sour drain smell that lingers in service corridors, and turns unpredictable maintenance into a predictable weekly dose.

Signals we hear from care homes & schools.

  • Drain smell in dining rooms, corridors or resident lounges

What changes

Outcomes for care homes & schools.

Results vary by site. Reduction ranges, timelines and dosing rates shown are typical outcomes from comparable UK installations and depend on influent load, temperature, retention time, existing plant condition and the agreed dosing regime. A J-All specialist will confirm expected performance after a site assessment.

The problem

Why chemistry-only keeps failing.

Repeat kitchen blockages, drain smell in service areas and rising maintenance bills. These are biological problems at their core, so they keep coming back until the biology gets fixed. Bleaches, acids and dispersants push the symptoms downstream but leave the FOG, sludge, hydrocarbon or ammonia load untouched.

The FOG issues across our restaurant estate disappeared inside a month. Our facilities team stopped fielding emergency drain calls and our environmental health scores are the best they’ve ever been.

J-All’s biofertilizer brought two of our tired fields back into full production within a single season. Root mass alone was noticeably better at the first inspection.

Ammonia and biofilm stopped being our weekly headache. The J-All specialist knew our RAS system as well as we did — it’s the first supplier that’s truly consultative.
