Why Proper Grease Trap Installation Matters

An adequately sized grease trap in the right position is an essential method for the effective management of grease in commercial kitchens. Proper installation ensures efficient grease separation while allowing easy access for inspection, cleaning and maintenance, supporting reliable drainage performance and long-term kitchen operations.

 

On the other hand, an undersized system installed incorrectly will likely allow FOG to enter into mains water supplies. This will lead to FOG build up, causing blockages, odours, hygiene concerns and operational disruptions.

Commercial Grease Trap Installations in the UK

Our commercial grease trap installation service also covers the initial assessment, expert recommendations, supply and installation of systems for appropriate commercial premises across the UK. Our engineers have years of experience in the practical requirements of keeping site disruption to a minimum, with installation quality to a maximum.

 

Every kitchen is different, so we consider factors like general wastewater flow, FOG output, available space, drainage arrangements and maintenance access before recommending a system.

So arrange your free Aqua Mundus site survey today or explore our Grease Traps range or use our Grease Trap Size Calculator as a starting point.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It

Choosing the Right Grease Trap for Your Installation

Selecting the right grease trap option has numerous considerations including kitchen types, output, wastewater flow, FOG loads, available internal space, existing drainage and more. Options for future cleaning, access and any potential changes to kitchen layout should also be kept in mind too.

 

A passive grease trap will separate FOG from wastewater as it passes through the unit, while an automatic recovery system uses a different method to remove collected grease. The Aqua Mundus grease trap size calculator can help you determine the ideal option for your situation.

Restaurants can vary significantly in kitchen size, food preparation methods and wastewater output. Visit our Restaurants page for more information.

Hospitality & Commercial Kitchens

 

Hotels, pubs, catering facilities and other commercial kitchens may need systems capable of handling different service volumes throughout the day. See our Commercial Kitchens page.

Education

 

Schools, colleges and other education sites may operate kitchens serving large numbers of meals within concentrated service periods.

Grease Trap Installation & FOG Compliance

Legislation like Section 111 of the Water Industry Act 1991 restricts the discharge of matter into a public sewer where it may interfere with the free flow of the sewer system or the treatment of content disposal.

 

For commercial food operations, suitable grease management can help control fats, oils and grease before they enter drainage systems.

 

This does not mean that the legislation universally requires every commercial kitchen to install a specific type of grease trap. The appropriate solution depends on the individual premises and operation.

Grease Trap Installation FAQs

  • What is a grease trap?

    A grease trap captures fats, oils and grease (FOG) from commercial kitchen wastewater before they enter drainage systems. Different systems use different separation methods. Explore our Grease Traps range for more detail on available options.

  • Can you supply and install grease traps nationwide?

    We have a network of engineers across the country, from Gloucester to Aberdeen, Manchester to Warwick, enabling us to bring our grease trap services to all corners of the UK and everywhere in between. Wherever you are, an Aqua Mundus expert engineer can get to you.

  • Once installed, how often does it need to be serviced?

    Servicing frequency typically depends on the kind of grease trap itself, kitchen usage and the general volume of fats, oils and grease collected. Higher-use systems may require more frequent attention. Our Servicing and Maintenance team can advise on an appropriate schedule.

  • How much does a grease trap installation cost?

    Installation cost depends on the system type and size, drainage works, installation location, access and site conditions. Our Size Calculator can assist with initial sizing, while a free site survey supports an accurate recommendation and quote.

    Aqua Mundus supplies automatic and non-automatic systems, including at-source, centralised, above-ground and below-ground options. Current ranges include brands like Big Dipper, Grease Shield, Fat Strippa and Trapzilla, subject to product availability.

  • How long does a commercial grease trap installation take?

    Installation times vary according to the system selected, access to the site, required drainage work and installation location. The Aqua Mundus team can assess these factors during the survey and discuss scheduling before the work begins.

  • Where should a grease trap be installed?

    Grease traps can be installed at-source or under-sink, above ground externally or below ground, depending on the system and site. The location should also provide suitable access for inspection, cleaning and servicing.

  • Can you install a grease trap in an existing commercial kitchen?

    Absolutely, Aqua Mundus offers free site assessments on existing commercial kitchens to work out the best way to integrate one of our systems into your workspace.
