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 can pass your enquiry to a local installer. A good installer works with your plumber, builder, and local council so the 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 The Installation Process Site assessment: The installer visits your premises to evaluate plumbing layout, available space, and kitchen output volume. Trap sizing: Using AS 4494 calculations, they determine the correct trap size based on your fixture units, menu type, and peak flow rates. Water authority liaison: They coordinate with City West Water, South East Water, or Yarra Valley Water to ensure your installation meets their Trade Waste Agreement specifications. Installation: A licensed plumber installs your grease trap — in-ground or above-ground — with minimal disruption to your operations. Commissioning and documentation: They test the system, provide the compliance documentation, and set up your initial maintenance schedule. Trap Types Installed Installers supply and fit 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). The right solution depends on your space, budget, and operational requirements.

Upgrades & Replacements If your existing trap is too small, damaged, or non-compliant, an installer can upgrade it with minimal downtime. An upgrade covers removal of the old unit, disposal of any residual waste under EPA licence, and installation of the replacement, often within 1 to 3 business days.

Full Compliance Every installation comes with complete documentation including compliance certificates, as-built drawings, and your initial Waste Transport Certificate. Ask your installer to confirm your setup satisfies EPA Victoria’s requirements and your local council’s planning conditions from day one.
