What is compliance & safety cleaning?
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.
What’s included
Fixed scope. Everything below is in the price — nothing is an optional extra.
- Full system inspection against AS 1851 and AS/NZS 1668.1 requirements
- Grease depth measured and recorded at each access point before cleaning
- Cleaning carried out to the standard, with photographic evidence at every stage
- Dated compliance certificate issued naming the site, system and technician
- Written report listing defects, missing access panels and recommended intervals
- Next-service date scheduled and a reminder issued before it falls due
Every access point is photographed before and after, and filed with your certificate.
Why it matters
The case for compliance & safety cleaning
Three specific reasons, each with the mechanism behind it.
An audit tests your paperwork, not your kitchen
When a council inspector or insurance assessor arrives, the question is whether you can produce dated evidence of cleaning at the required interval. A spotless duct with no certificate fails; a documented one passes.
AS 1851 sets the interval by cooking load
The standard does not prescribe a single frequency for every kitchen. It ties inspection and cleaning to how the system is used — which is why we measure grease depth on site and set the interval from evidence.
Defects found early are cheap to fix
Missing access panels, a failing fan bearing or an undersized discharge are all far cheaper to correct at a scheduled clean than after an incident or a failed audit.
Our process
How we clean: compliance & safety cleaning
Same sequence every job, so the result is repeatable and the report means something.
- Step 1
Inspect and measure
System surveyed against AS 1851, grease depth recorded at every access point and photographed.
- Step 2
Clean to the standard
Canopy, duct and fan cleaned to the level the standard requires, not to whatever is easy to reach.
- Step 3
Certify and report
Dated certificate plus a written defect report issued, ready to hand to an inspector or insurer.
- Step 4
Schedule the next service
Interval set from measured accumulation, and a reminder issued before the certificate lapses.

Compliance & Safety Cleaning — questions we get asked
FAQ
Direct answers, no runaround.
What is AS 1851 and does it apply to my kitchen?
AS 1851 is the Australian Standard for the routine service of fire protection systems and equipment, and it covers kitchen exhaust hood and duct systems. It applies to commercial kitchens whose insurance, lease or council conditions reference the standard — which in practice is most Sydney venues.
What documentation do I receive after a compliance clean?
A dated compliance certificate naming the site, the system cleaned and the technician, plus a written report with before/after photographs at each access point and a list of any defects found. Both are issued digitally within one business day.
Will this certificate satisfy my insurer?
Our certificates are issued against AS 1851 with photographic evidence and technician sign-off, which is the form insurers ask for. If your policy specifies a particular interval or wording, send it to us and we will match the report to it.
How is AS/NZS 1668.1 different from AS 1851?
AS/NZS 1668.1 governs the design and installation of the mechanical ventilation system — duct sizing, fire dampers, discharge location. AS 1851 governs how that installed system is routinely serviced and documented. We inspect against both and report anything non-compliant.
