What Our Grease Trap Cleaning Service Includes

Every grease trap cleaning service from I SUK UP Ltd includes:

  • Full vacuum extraction of all liquid and solid waste from the trap
  • Thorough scrubbing and cleaning of trap walls, baffles, and inlet/outlet pipes
  • Inspection of trap condition including lids, seals, and internal components
  • Safe, licensed disposal of all waste at an approved treatment facility
  • Service record documentation for your compliance records
  • Technician advice on cleaning frequency and any concerns identified during service

We service under-sink manual grease units and in-ground grease trap tanks of all sizes.

Why Grease Trap Cleaning is Not Optional

Grease traps capture fats, oils, and grease from your kitchen wastewater before they enter the public drainage system. Over time, accumulated grease builds up rapidly - causing blockages, foul odours, and serious health hazards in your kitchen and dining areas.

Auckland Council requires commercial food preparation facilities to have their grease traps cleaned every 3 months, though high-volume kitchens may need service more frequently. Failing to maintain your grease trap risks council compliance notices, expensive emergency call-outs, and potential closure of your business during peak trading periods.

At I SUK UP Ltd, our technicians thoroughly vacuum and clean the entire trap - removing all accumulated grease, fats, oils, and solid waste. We do not offer a partial clean or a quick pump-out shortcut. Every service is complete, documented, and fully compliant with Auckland Council regulations.

Who Needs Grease Trap Cleaning?

  • Restaurants and dining establishments
  • Cafes and coffee shops
  • Takeaway and fast food outlets
  • Hotels and accommodation with kitchen facilities
  • Bars and function venues
  • School and workplace canteens
  • Bakeries and food production facilities
  • Any commercial premises with food preparation

If your business prepares food, you almost certainly have a grease trap - and it almost certainly needs regular servicing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How often does Auckland Council require grease traps to be cleaned?

Auckland Council requires most commercial food preparation facilities to have their grease traps cleaned every 3 months. High-volume kitchens may need more frequent servicing. We can help you establish the right schedule for your business volume and trap size.

Do you service both under-sink units and in-ground grease traps?

Yes. We service both under-sink manual grease interceptor units and larger in-ground grease trap tanks. When requesting a quote, let us know your trap type and size so we can ensure we bring the right equipment.

Can you set up a regular maintenance schedule for my business?

Yes. We offer scheduled maintenance plans tailored to your business needs and council requirements. We handle the reminders and booking so you never have to worry about falling behind on compliance. Contact us to set up your schedule.

What happens if I don't clean my grease trap regularly?

Neglected grease traps cause blockages, foul odours, and wastewater backups in your kitchen. Beyond the operational disruption, you risk council compliance notices, fines, and potential forced closure of your premises. The cost of regular cleaning is far less than the cost of an emergency call-out or a council enforcement action.

How long does a grease trap clean take?

Most standard commercial grease trap cleans are completed within 1 to 2 hours, depending on trap size and condition. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your business operations.

Do you service grease traps across all of Auckland?

We service commercial properties across North Shore, West Auckland, and Rodney - from Auckland Harbour Bridge north to Matakana, and from Bethells Beach east to Warkworth. Properties at the outer boundaries of our service area may incur a travel surcharge. We do not service properties south of the Harbour Bridge.
