Compliance & EHO Readiness

EHO inspection
at any time.

London restaurants can receive an unannounced Environmental Health Officer visit at any time. A well-maintained premises is a compliant one. 3COL keeps your site inspection-ready.

FOG & Drainage Compliance
Fats, oils and grease (FOG) blockages are the leading cause of sewer flooding in London. Thames Water and the Environment Agency can issue enforcement notices to premises that discharge untreated FOG. 3COL services grease traps, installs interceptors, and issues Waste Transfer Notes for all collections under our EA Licence CBDL628634.
Food Hygiene Regulations 2006
Under the Food Hygiene Regulations 2006, food business operators must maintain premises in a clean condition and in good repair. Walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, surfaces in contact with food, and equipment must be maintained and kept clean. EHO inspectors score premises on structure and cleanliness — maintenance directly affects your Food Hygiene Rating.
Fire Safety (RRO 2005)
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires restaurant operators to maintain fire doors, emergency lighting, and escape routes in good working order. 3COL carries out fire door inspections, closer replacements, intumescent seal installation, and emergency lighting testing — all documented with same-day reports.
