- Drains clogged with fat
Different parts, different methods
Grease interceptors
A larger unit takes more time to empty and clean and we allow for that.
Baffles and outlets
Clean water leaves through the outlet. A blocked outlet stops the trap working.
Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Maltman's Hill
Fats, oils and grease are the main cause of blocked kitchen drains. Down the line, they can add to fatbergs in the sewer. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly keeps them out of the drains. If you are dealing with scheduled grease trap emptying and foul odours from the grease trap, we can help, from kitchen waste pipes, inline grease traps and pot wash sinks onwards.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

When to call us in Maltman's Hill
If a trap is not emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
- A full, neglected grease trap
- An interceptor full of grease and solids
- A small trap that fills too quickly
Historic houses such as Godinton House (about 5 miles east) are part of the area around Maltman's Hill, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Common questions in Maltman's Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Maltman's Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Maltman's Hill?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Maltman's Hill keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Maltman's Hill, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We agree a time when the sinks aren’t needed.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
- We close it up, check it drains and suggest when it needs cleaning again.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
