Grease Trap Installation & Upgrades Melbourne
Whether you’re fitting out a new commercial kitchen or upgrading an existing grease trap that no longer meets your needs, Melbourne Grease Trap Cleaning provides end-to-end installation services. We work with your plumber, builder, and local council to ensure every installation meets AS 4494 standards, EPA Victoria regulations, and your water authority’s Trade Waste Agreement conditions.
When You Need a New Grease Trap
- Opening a new restaurant, cafe, or commercial kitchen
- Renovating or expanding an existing food service operation
- Your current trap is undersized for your kitchen’s output
- Upgrading from a passive system to an Automatic Grease Removal Unit (AGRU)
- Council or water authority has issued a notice requiring installation or upgrade
- Your existing trap is damaged, corroded, or beyond repair
Our Installation Process
- Site assessment: We visit your premises to evaluate plumbing layout, available space, and kitchen output volume.
- Trap sizing: Using AS 4494 calculations, we determine the correct trap size based on your fixture units, menu type, and peak flow rates.
- Water authority liaison: We coordinate with City West Water, South East Water, or Yarra Valley Water to ensure your installation meets their Trade Waste Agreement specifications.
- Installation: Our team installs your grease trap — in-ground or above-ground — with minimal disruption to your operations.
- Commissioning and documentation: We test the system, provide all compliance documentation, and set up your initial maintenance schedule.
Trap Types We Install
We install and supply all major grease trap types, including in-ground concrete and fibreglass traps, above-ground stainless steel units, triple interceptor systems, passive gravity traps, and Automatic Grease Removal Units (AGRUs). We recommend the best solution based on your space, budget, and operational requirements.
Upgrades & Replacements
If your existing trap is too small, damaged, or non-compliant, we can upgrade it with minimal downtime. We handle the removal of your old unit, disposal of any residual waste under EPA licence, and installation of the replacement — all in as little as one to three business days.
Full Compliance Guaranteed
Every installation comes with complete documentation including compliance certificates, as-built drawings, and your initial Waste Transport Certificate. We ensure your setup satisfies EPA Victoria’s requirements and your local council’s planning conditions from day one.
