Supply and fitting for cafeterias, restaurants, hotel kitchens and labour-camp canteens across Sharjah — with a survey first, because in older buildings the drainage decides what can actually be installed.
A lot of Sharjah's commercial kitchens sit in buildings that were not laid out with grease interception in mind. Drainage runs are shallow, plant space is tight, and the yard a tanker would need is often shared or built over. That changes the job: the question is rarely "which trap is best" but "which correctly rated trap will physically fit and still be serviceable in three years".
So we survey before specifying. Where a floor-mounted interceptor cannot be accommodated, the workable answer is often smaller units taken off the heaviest fixtures individually, or an external interceptor sited where a pump truck can genuinely reach it. Getting that decision wrong is expensive twice — once to install, once to rip out.
Guidance here is indicative — the specification is confirmed after a site survey.
Whatever unit type the building allows, it has to be rated at or above the peak drainage flow reaching it, with enough retention time for fat to separate out. Undersizing is the failure we correct most often — and no cleaning schedule compensates for it. Work through the method in our grease trap sizing guide, or see the full grease trap installation service for the unit types we supply.
We check fall, pipe runs, plant space and tanker access across the Sharjah site.
A correctly rated unit that the building can actually take — and that stays serviceable.
Fitted around trading hours where possible, with old units removed and disposed of properly.
Cleaning interval set to the kitchen's FOG output, with a dated report from the first visit on.
Installation is quoted per site — unit type, drainage work and access drive it, not the emirate. Ongoing cleaning runs roughly AED 200–500 per visit for a small under-sink trap up to AED 1,200–3,500+ for a large in-ground interceptor. Full detail in our cost guide; for routine servicing in the emirate see grease trap cleaning in Sharjah.
Sharjah has its own municipal authority — food establishment, drainage and sewerage requirements in the emirate are administered by Sharjah City Municipality rather than by Dubai Municipality. The underlying principle is the same across the UAE: fats, oils and grease must be intercepted before wastewater reaches the public sewer, and you should be able to show that the trap is maintained. If you operate in both emirates, expect to keep separate service records for each site.
Usually yes, but the constraint is rarely the trap itself — it is space and fall. Older kitchen fit-outs often have shallow drainage runs and tight plant areas, which can rule out the obvious floor-mounted unit. In those cases the practical answer is often a smaller under-sink unit on each heavy fixture, or an external interceptor placed where a tanker can actually reach it. We survey the drainage before recommending anything, because a unit that will not fit or cannot be serviced is worse than no plan at all.
Yes. High-volume catering kitchens feeding accommodation blocks and industrial sites often produce more fat, oil and grease per day than a mid-size restaurant, because they cook in bulk at fixed meal times. That concentrated load means both a properly rated interceptor and a shorter service interval. These are among the sites where an undersized original specification shows up fastest.
Yes — we install and service across Sharjah including the industrial areas, Al Qasimia, Al Nahda and Muweilah, alongside our Dubai and Ajman coverage. Sites with awkward tanker access are worth flagging when you enquire, as it affects which unit type makes sense.
The unit and the drainage work drive the price, not which emirate you are in. What can differ is access — a site that a tanker cannot reach easily, or drainage that needs rerouting, adds labour. We quote per site after an assessment rather than from a rate card.
