Grease trap cleaning cost in Dubai — indicative prices.

There is no single fixed price for grease trap cleaning. The cost depends on your trap's capacity, how easy it is to reach, the volume of fats, oils and grease your kitchen produces, and whether you book a one-off visit or a recurring schedule. Below are honest, sourced indicative ranges for Dubai, Sharjah & Ajman — then call us for an exact quote on your kitchen.

Indicative pricing

Typical cost by trap size.

Indicative AED per-visit ranges only — actual price varies by trap capacity, access, FOG volume and frequency. These are not quotes.

🛢️

Small under-sink trap

Indicative AED 200–500 / visit.
Compact units under the sink in cafes, small outlets and kiosks. Quick to access and pump, lower waste volume.

🛢️

Medium floor interceptor

Indicative AED 500–1,200 / visit.
Floor-mounted interceptors in mid-size restaurants. More capacity to pump out, scrape and wash down.

🛢️

Large in-ground interceptor

Indicative AED 1,200–3,500+ / visit.
Below-ground interceptors at hotels, malls, food courts and labour camps — typically a pump-truck plus licensed disposal.

A broader market overview also cites a general AED 300–1,200 band "depending on trap size, accessibility, volume of waste and location." Treat every figure here as a starting point, not a fixed quote — your kitchen's exact price is confirmed after we see the trap.

What drives the price

Five things that change your cost.

Two kitchens of the same size can pay very different amounts. These are the factors that move the number up or down.

  • Trap capacity (litres)Bigger traps take longer to pump out and need larger transport containers — and sometimes special equipment.
  • Accessibility & excavationTraps under floors and slabs, or behind fixed kitchen equipment, take longer to reach and may need lifting or excavation.
  • FOG volume from the kitchenA high-frying, high-turnover kitchen fills its trap faster, so each visit removes more waste — and the trap needs servicing more often.
  • Licensed disposal & paperworkCompliant transfer of the waste and a dated service report for your records are part of the job — not an optional extra.
  • !
    Emergency / after-hours timingShort-notice, weekend or out-of-hours call-outs carry a premium over a planned visit.
One-off pump-out
Priced per the trap-size ranges above; best for a single clean or a first assessment.
Maintenance contract (AMC)
Indicative AED 150–600 / month depending on trap size and frequency; lower per-visit cost than ad-hoc.
!
Emergency / after-hours
Indicative AED 800–2,500 extra — often 2–3× a scheduled visit.
Always included
Full pump-out, scrape and wash-down, compliant disposal and a dated service report.
Contract vs one-off

Why a schedule usually costs less.

Recurring service is the cost-efficient choice for any kitchen that needs regular cleaning.

1

Lower per-visit cost

Planned visits let us amortise mobilisation, so the price per clean is typically lower than a one-off booking.

2

No emergency premiums

A trap that's serviced on time rarely backs up — so you avoid the after-hours call-out premium of AED 800–2,500.

3

Right frequency, no waste

We size the schedule to your kitchen's FOG output, so you're not over-paying for visits you don't need.

4

Inspection-ready records

Every contract visit comes with a dated report — your evidence of compliant maintenance for inspections.

Cleaning frequency itself depends on trap size and usage — most active commercial kitchens are serviced somewhere between every 30 and 90 days, with high-volume kitchens monthly to fortnightly. There's no single fixed interval, and Dubai Municipality may set a frequency per establishment. See our services and about pages for how we work.

Cost FAQ

Common questions on price.

As an indicative guide: a small under-sink trap is roughly AED 200–500 per visit, a medium floor-mounted interceptor roughly AED 500–1,200, and a large in-ground interceptor needing a pump-truck and licensed disposal roughly AED 1,200–3,500 or more. These are indicative ranges only — the exact price varies by trap capacity, accessibility, FOG volume and frequency. Call +971 55 692 9829 for an exact quote.

Usually, yes. A scheduled contract typically reduces the per-visit cost versus ad-hoc bookings because mobilisation is planned and the trap is cleaned before it overflows. Published monthly contract pricing in Dubai commonly sits in an indicative AED 150–600 per month band depending on trap size and frequency, and recurring service helps you avoid emergency call-out premiums.

A weekend or after-hours emergency pump-out commonly carries a premium — indicatively AED 800–2,500 extra, often two to three times the cost of a planned visit — because crews and equipment are dispatched at short notice outside normal hours. A regular schedule is the most reliable way to avoid these premiums.

Very low headline rates are usually entry prices for the smallest under-sink unit, or they may not include a full pump-out, scraping and compliant waste disposal with documentation. A genuinely compliant service includes licensed transfer of the waste and a dated service report. We'll always confirm exactly what's included before you book.
