Hospitality venues, commercial businesses, schools and healthcare facilities all require reliable servicing. The versatile and dependable team at Aqua Mundus provides a plethora of grease trap services that are customised to meet your needs.

This allows for accurate sizing and the correct system selection, whether that is a larger interceptor or standard grease trap, our engineers can provide the exact solution your business needs.
The installation process is carried out in line with industry best practices. All work is completed with full consideration of UK wastewater regulations, helping you remain compliant with BS EN 1825 standards. For a more complete understanding of what a grease trap is, read our helpful guide.
Grease trap waste is classified as controlled waste because it poses severe health risks if not handled correctly. Our trained engineers utilise specialist vacuums and tools to fully empty and clean grease trap systems.
Cleaning frequency will depend on usage, but most commercial kitchens require servicing every one to three months to prevent excessive buildup. During each visit, the system is fully emptied, all waste is removed and then transported in accordance with regulations. Without regular maintenance, businesses risk a severe buildup of FOG (fats, oils and grease), which can result in blockages, foul odours and other hygienic issues.
Preventative maintenance plans are a helpful proactive measure. They reduce the likelihood of unexpected issues. In the event of a problem, rapid emergency callouts ensure minimal disruption to your operation. Common issues such as blockages, odours, overflow and slow drainage are quickly identified and resolved.
All work is carried out in line with the Water Industry Act 1991, ensuring legal compliance while protecting both your drainage system and the sewer network.
A complete wastewater and drainage service maintains your grease management system, alongside your wider drainage infrastructure. This includes drain treatment dosing to break down FOG within pipework, as well as the installation and maintenance of pumps to prevent system failures.

Grease Trap FAQs
-
What is a grease trap?
A grease trap is a system that facilitates the separation of water and FOG. It’s a necessity in commercial kitchens, restaurants and any environment that serves food.
-
How does a grease trap work?
They separate grease from water by slowing the flow, allowing oils to rise and solids to settle while cleaner water flows under baffles and into your sewer system.
-
How do you clean a grease trap?
Cleaning involves fully emptying the unit, removing waste and washing internal components to prevent buildup. However, commercial grease traps will require professional cleaning services to ensure that hazardous waste is disposed of correctly.
-
How to clear up a blocked grease trap?
Blockages are cleared by removing accumulated grease and debris, often using specialist equipment such as a mobile vacuum tank to restore normal flow safely.
-
What size grease trap do I need?
The correct size depends on your kitchen’s output, number of fixtures and volume of wastewater produced during peak operation. Larger commercial kitchens often require below-ground grease interceptors rather than smaller under-sink traps due to higher volumes of wastewater and grease production.
-
How often do you need to clean a grease trap?
Most systems require cleaning every one to three months, depending on usage levels and the amount of FOG produced.
-
What are the signs that my grease trap is full?
Common signs that a grease system is full include slow drainage, unpleasant odours, visible grease buildup and, in severe cases, overflow or backups.
