MAINTAINING YOUR INTERCEPTOR AND DRAINAGE SYSTEMS


Interceptors play a vital role in protecting drainage systems by capturing hydrocarbons, oils and silt before the discharge enters the foul or surface water drainage system. Poorly maintained or overloaded interceptors can increase the risk of pollution and non-compliance, potentially resulting in fines from Scottish Water or SEPA.

At Taylors Industrial Services, we provide professional interceptor emptying, cleaning and sampling services to help businesses maintain their systems effectively and meet their environmental responsibilities.

We also provide drain and gully cleaning and high-pressure water jetting, helping to prevent blockages, flooding and associated damage or disruption to your premises and neighbouring businesses.

All interceptor, drain and gully maintenance is carried out by our highly trained and experienced personnel, with work undertaken in accordance with appropriate Risk Assessments, Method Statements and Toolbox Talks.

  • Cleaning and emptying of Foul Water interceptors and drains

  • Cleaning and emptying of Surface Water interceptors, drains and gullies
  • Unblocking drains using high pressure jetting
  • Interceptors can be refilled with fresh water

INTERCEPTOR SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS


Taylors Industrial Services can provide professional interceptor sampling and monitoring services to help you understand the condition and performance of your interceptor system and identify any potential compliance issues.

By carrying out sampling over a minimum 12-month period, we can build a reliable history of results, providing valuable data to help identify trends, demonstrate compliance and support informed maintenance decisions.

Maintaining discharge consent levels is essential, as failure to comply may result in enforcement action and financial penalties. A regular programme of interceptor inspection, sampling and cleaning can help reduce this risk and ensure your system continues to operate effectively.

All samples are analysed independently by a UKAS-accredited laboratory, providing confidence in the accuracy and integrity of the results. Independent analysis also ensures there is no conflict of interest between our sampling services and any maintenance work we carry out.

Sampling can be arranged on a scheduled or ad hoc basis, depending on your requirements.

Interceptor clean out and inspection


" I just wanted to send a quick email to highlight the excellent work your team carried out yesterday.

 

All of the lads were extremely professional and focused on completing the job properly, rather than simply trying to finish as quickly as possible. Their commitment to delivering a quality result was clear throughout the day.


It was a long afternoon for everyone involved, but that did not dishearten the team. Instead, they embraced the challenges that arose and worked through them with a positive attitude.


One very happy client."
