Canopy Clean
Commercial kitchens can become greasy quickly and this can become a major fire hazard. As part of AS 1851-2012 you are required to clean your canopy at least once a year. We'll clean your canopy and exhaust system as part of our kitchen cleaning program.
Compliance Program – AS 1851
Our Commercial Kitchen Cleaning Program ensures you are always compliant with Australian Standard AS 1851-2012, which outlines a set of requirements for the cleaning of commercial kitchen exhausts, filters, and canopies. Including:
- Monthly inspections of grease filters
- Monthly cleaning of grease filters as required
- Monthly inspection of grease gutters
- Annual cleaning of exhaust hood and exhaust plenum
Exhaust Duct Clean
Fires quickly spread through grease laden ducts. Our exhaust duct cleaning service is therefore an essential part of keeping safe. Many of our competitors will take short cuts when cleaning kitchen exhaust ducts as it can be difficult for you to monitor performance.

Common questions
Straight answers about cleaning frequency and compliance.
How Often Do I Need To Clean My Kitchen Canopy & Exhausts?
Australian Standard AS 1851 states that canopies and exhausts should be cleaned at least once every 12 months. However, best practice is very often a lot higher than that. It will depend on the fuel (solid / non-solid), the food cooked and the cooking frequency. A better way to define the frequency is that the canopy and exhaust system should be cleaned when the grease build-up exceeds 0.2 mm on average across the system or if the grease build-up exceeds 2 mm in any one spot.
Why Clean a Commercial Kitchen?
The primary reason to clean your Commercial Kitchen Canopy and Exhaust is to prevent a kitchen fire. However, fire is just one reason to clean your system. Here are 5 more reasons: Compliance – If you are found not to be compliant with AS 1851 you will be fined Unpleasant odours – A grease-ridden exhaust and duct system can result in mould and bacteria growth. Mould and bacteria growth can produce an unpleasant odour. Pests – Grease and mould can be a source for pests including rats and mice. Health Hazard – Grease, bacteria, and mould around food preparation is a health hazard and can cause sickness. Increased Equipment Efficiency – Removing grease from the canopy, fans and ducts ensures the longevity of the kitchen equipment and reduces the likelihood of sudden breakdowns. It helps to keep the kitchen running smoothly and efficiently.
