Grease trap cleaning for restaurants & cafes.

Busy kitchens fill a trap fast. We keep your restaurant's grease trap pumped, scraped and inspection-ready on a schedule that fits your service — across Dubai, Sharjah & Ajman. No overflows, no foul smell, no surprise shutdowns.

Why restaurants call us

The problems we take off your plate.

A neglected trap doesn't just smell — it stops service and puts your licence at risk.

🚨

Overflows mid-service

A full trap backs up into floor drains and sinks, forcing you to stop cooking at the worst possible moment. Scheduled pump-outs clear the trap before it ever reaches that point.

💨

Foul odour in the dining room

Decomposing fats, oils and grease push smell back up the drains and out to your guests. A clean, scraped trap stays odour-free between visits.

📄

Inspection panic

Dubai Municipality can check that your trap is installed and maintained at licence renewal. We leave a dated report after every visit so you always have proof.

📅

Forgotten cleaning dates

Kitchens are hectic and the trap is out of sight. We track your frequency and turn up on schedule so it never slips through the cracks.

How it works

From booking to compliant in four steps.

1

Assess your kitchen

Tell us your cuisine, covers and trap size. We recommend a compliant cleaning frequency for your grease load.

2

Pump & scrape

A contained pump-out of grease and solids, then full scraping of baffles, inlets and outlets — done around your hours.

3

Wash & inspect

A clean wash-down and a check that the trap is performing, so it holds up until the next scheduled visit.

4

Dispose & report

Grease transferred per Dubai Municipality rules, then a dated service report filed for your inspection records.

Right frequency

How often does your trap need it?

There is no single legal interval — frequency depends on your trap's capacity and how much fat, oil and grease your kitchen produces. Industry guidance commonly puts active restaurant traps in these indicative bands, which vary by size and usage:

  • High-frying, high-volume kitchensOften monthly to fortnightly to keep up with heavy grease output.
  • Most active restaurant trapsTypically serviced every 30–90 days depending on FOG load.
  • The "25% rule" benchmarkA widely used engineering guide is to pump once grease and solids reach about a quarter of the trap's liquid depth.

Indicative pricing

What restaurant grease trap cleaning costs.

Real prices depend on trap size, access, grease volume and frequency — so treat these as indicative ranges, not fixed quotes. Share your kitchen details for a firm figure.

🛢️

Small under-sink trap

Typical for compact cafes and small outlets. Indicatively around AED 200–500 per visit, varying by access and grease load.

🔧

Medium floor interceptor

Common in mid-size restaurants on a routine schedule. Indicatively around AED 500–1,200 per visit.

📅

Maintenance contract

A recurring plan usually costs less per visit than one-off jobs — providers commonly cite a reduction of roughly 20–30% because the trap is cleaned before it overflows.

Note: weekend or after-hours emergency call-outs carry a premium and can cost noticeably more than a scheduled visit — another reason to keep your trap on a regular plan. Very low headline "from AED 99" rates seen online usually cover only the smallest under-sink unit, not a full pump-out with compliant disposal.

Compliance

Stay on the right side of Dubai Municipality.

Under Dubai's Local Order No. 8 of 2002, restaurants, cafeterias, fast-food outlets, food factories and hotels must fit a compliant grease trap on the kitchen drainage before it connects to the public sewer. Untreated fats, oils and grease cannot be discharged straight to the sewer network.

At licence application or renewal, Dubai Municipality can inspect that the trap is installed and properly maintained. Our dated service reports and compliant waste transfer give you the maintenance evidence inspectors expect — so a routine check never becomes a problem.

Questions

Restaurant grease trap FAQs.

There is no single fixed interval for every kitchen. Frequency is driven by trap capacity and how much fat, oil and grease your kitchen produces. Most active restaurant traps are serviced somewhere between every 30 and 90 days, while high-frying, high-volume kitchens often need monthly or fortnightly cleaning. A widely used engineering benchmark is to pump the trap once accumulated grease and solids reach about 25% of its liquid depth — these are indicative ranges that vary by size and usage, not a universal mandate.

Yes. Dubai's Local Order No. 8 of 2002 requires restaurants, cafeterias, fast-food outlets, food factories, hotels and similar food establishments to fit a compliant grease trap on the kitchen drainage before it connects to the public sewer. Discharging untreated fats, oils and grease into the sewer network is prohibited.

Cost varies by trap size, access, grease volume and frequency. As an indicative guide, small under-sink units are around AED 200–500 per visit, medium floor interceptors around AED 500–1,200, and large in-ground interceptors around AED 1,200–3,500 or more. Recurring maintenance contracts typically reduce the per-visit cost compared with one-off jobs, and after-hours emergency call-outs carry a premium. Share your kitchen details for a firm quote.

No. We schedule pump-outs around your trading hours — early morning, late night or between services — and work as a contained, tidy operation so your kitchen stays open and odour-free.

Yes. Every visit is documented with a dated service report, and grease waste is transferred per Dubai Municipality rules. This gives you the evidence trail inspectors look for at licence renewal and routine checks.
