Fat, Oil & Grease (FOG): Preventing Blockages & Protecting Your Development

Fat, oil and grease — commonly known as FOG — are a leading cause of drainage blockages within residential developments.

When fats, oils, grease and food waste are washed into sinks, they can cool and accumulate within pipework, restricting water flow and potentially causing slow drainage, unpleasant odours, recurring blockages and costly drainage issues.

How Residents Can Help

Simple preventative measures can make a significant difference:
• Never pour cooking oil, fat or grease down the sink.
• Wipe greasy cookware before washing.
• Dispose of food waste appropriately.
• Use sink strainers to prevent debris entering the drainage system.

Understanding Responsibility

Within a managed development, responsibility for a blockage can depend on where the obstruction occurs and what has caused it. Issues affecting communal drainage may require investigation to establish the appropriate responsibility and remedial action.

At Silverkey Property Management, we take a proactive approach to managing residential developments, helping to protect communal infrastructure, minimise avoidable maintenance costs and maintain the long-term condition of the properties under our management.

Prevention is always better than an emergency.

Is Your Property Ready for Autumn?

As the seasons change and wetter, colder weather approaches, now is the ideal time to review your property’s maintenance needs and address potential issues before they become costly problems.

Autumn maintenance priorities:

• Gutters & downpipes — clear leaves and debris
• Roofs — check for damage, slipped tiles and flashing
• Drainage — ensure drains and gullies are clear
• Landscaping — inspect trees and communal areas
• Communal lighting — ensure external lighting is working
• External areas — check for damaged paving, cracks, moss and other hazards

Effective property management is about prevention, not reaction.

Taking action now can help protect your property, maintain communal areas and minimise unexpected maintenance issues throughout the winter.

Fire Safety Starts With Everyone

At Silverkey, we believe fire safety is a shared responsibility.

Residents play a vital role in helping to keep our buildings safe by:

✔️ Keeping fire doors closed and never wedging them open
✔️ Never removing or disabling self-closing devices
✔️ Reporting damaged or defective fire doors promptly
✔️ Providing access for scheduled fire safety inspections

At Silverkey, we communicate fire safety requirements clearly and regularly, helping residents understand the importance of these measures and the role they play in protecting themselves and others.

Regular inspections are an essential part of effective fire safety management. Where access cannot be obtained, Responsible Persons should retain clear records of reasonable attempts made to arrange entry.

Working together, we can help maintain safer buildings and protect our residents.

Understanding Your Service Charge Budget

Understanding how your service charge is allocated is an important part of effective block management.

A typical annual budget may include:

• Communal cleaning and maintenance
• Grounds maintenance
• Utilities and communal electricity
• Buildings insurance
• Lift servicing and maintenance
• Health & safety compliance
• Repairs and routine maintenance
• Management and administration fees
• Contributions to reserve or sinking funds

Budgets are prepared based on the specific requirements of each development, ensuring that essential services, ongoing maintenance and future expenditure are appropriately considered.

As managing agents, we are committed to providing clear, transparent and accountable financial information, helping leaseholders understand how service charge funds are planned and spent.

Clear budgets. Transparent management. Well-maintained developments.
