Range hood filter and vent cleaning is the removal of accumulated cooking grease from a kitchen canopy, its baffle or mesh filters, and the vent plenum behind them, followed by sanitising of all food-contact-adjacent surfaces.
Commercial kitchen duct cleaning is the mechanical removal of grease deposits from the entire exhaust duct run between the canopy and the roof discharge point, including risers, horizontal runs, bends and the fan housing.
Exhaust fan cleaning is the degreasing of the impeller, fan blades, housing and motor assembly of a kitchen extraction fan, restoring the airflow rate the system was designed to deliver.
Compliance cleaning is exhaust system cleaning carried out and documented to AS 1851 — the Australian Standard for routine service of fire protection systems and equipment — so the resulting certificate can be presented at a council or insurance audit.
How often should a commercial kitchen exhaust system be cleaned in Sydney?
Every 3 to 6 months for most commercial kitchens. AS 1851 sets the interval by cooking load, so charcoal, wok and high-volume frying kitchens generally need quarterly or monthly cleaning, while light-use kitchens can extend to 12 months if measured grease accumulation supports it.
How much does commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning cost in Sydney?
A single-canopy clean typically runs $350–$700, a full canopy-plus-duct clean $900–$2,500, and multi-storey or food-court systems $3,000 and up. Price is driven by canopy count, duct length, roof access and whether access panels need fitting. We quote on site the same day.
Do you provide a compliance certificate after cleaning?
Yes. Every clean is issued with a dated AS 1851 compliance certificate naming the site, the system cleaned and the technician, plus before and after photographs at each access point. It is emailed within one business day.
Will my kitchen need to close while you clean?
No. We work outside service hours — usually overnight or on a scheduled close — and stage larger sites across consecutive nights. A single-canopy clean takes 2 to 4 hours and a full system 6 to 10.
What areas of Sydney do you cover?
The full Sydney metropolitan area, from Penrith and Mount Druitt in the west to Bondi and Maroubra in the east, north to Hornsby and Rouse Hill, south through the Sutherland Shire, plus Campbelltown, Camden and Wollongong.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold $20 million public liability cover and all technicians carry current White Card and working-at-heights certification. Certificates of currency are supplied to centre management or strata on request before we attend.
What happens if you find a fault in the system?
We photograph it, list it in the written report with a recommended action, and quote the repair separately. Nothing is fixed without your approval and nothing found is left off the report.
Can you handle emergency or same-day callouts?
Yes. We hold capacity for emergency callouts — typically a failed inspection, a blocked system or a fire-brigade directive. Call 0468 070 392 and we will confirm an attendance window on the call.
