Does canopy cleaning need to comply with any Australian standards or regulations?

Yes. Canopy and exhaust cleaning must reduce fire risk and comply with AS 1851 maintenance schedules and any local council or building fire safety requirements. CLEANEY performs work to help you meet these obligations and provides documentation for compliance records.

What does CLEANEY's canopy cleaning process involve?

We inspect the canopy and ductwork, degrease and remove buildup, clean filters, fan and motor housings, then perform a final inspection. All work is completed with safe, food‑grade chemicals and waste disposed of per local health and environmental requirements.

How does CLEANEY determine pricing for canopy cleaning?

Pricing is based on canopy size, duct runs, access difficulty and grease level. We provide a transparent quote after an on‑site assessment or from detailed photos, with any additional work explained before commencement.

How often should commercial kitchens have their canopy and exhaust cleaned?

Frequency depends on cooking volume and grease load; high‑use kitchens may require monthly cleaning, others quarterly or biannually. CLEANEY can recommend intervals aligned with AS 1851 guidance and your insurance and local council requirements.

What is included in CLEANEY's canopy cleaning service?

Service includes full canopy, grease filter and duct cleaning, fan and motor degreasing, grease trap checks where applicable, photographic before/after evidence and a completion report for compliance records. Any repairs or replacements are quoted separately.

How can I verify the quality and compliance of the cleaning performed?

CLEANEY provides a detailed job report, before/after photos and cleaning certificates noting work completed and recommendations. You can also request inspection records to satisfy auditors, insurers or local council officers referencing AS 1851 standards.

Why it matters

Why Kitchen Canopy Cleaning Matters

Fire Risk Reduction

Grease in canopies and ducts is highly flammable and the leading cause of commercial kitchen fires. Regular degreasing dramatically lowers that risk.

AS1851 Compliance

Australian Standard AS1851 sets cleaning frequencies for kitchen exhaust systems. We clean to standard and document it, keeping you compliant.

Insurance & Audit Ready

Many insurers require evidence of regular exhaust cleaning. We provide certificates and before/after records to protect your cover.

Healthier Air & Hygiene

A clean exhaust system extracts smoke, steam, and grease effectively, improving air quality and comfort for kitchen staff.

Better Equipment Performance

Clean fans and filters move air efficiently, reducing strain on your exhaust system and lowering energy use.

Pass Council Inspections

A grease-free canopy and ductwork helps your kitchen meet food-safety and fire-safety requirements at inspection time.

Canopy cleaning FAQs

Common questions

How often should a commercial kitchen canopy be professionally cleaned?

Cleaning frequency under AS 1668.1 guidelines depends on cooking type and volume. High-volume operations using solid fuel, charcoal, or wok cooking require cleaning every one to three months. Moderate-volume operations using gas cooking typically require quarterly cleaning. Lower-volume operations such as light catering or snack preparation may be compliant with six-monthly service. CLEANEY assesses your specific operation at each visit and provides a documented frequency recommendation.

What Australian standard governs commercial kitchen canopy cleaning?

Australian Standard AS 1668.1 — The Use of Ventilation and Air Conditioning in Buildings — is the primary technical standard governing fire safety requirements for commercial kitchen exhaust systems, including acceptable grease accumulation levels and system maintenance requirements. This standard is referenced within the National Construction Code and is used by insurers, WorkSafe Victoria, and council environmental health officers when assessing commercial kitchen compliance.

Does CLEANEY provide compliance documentation after each canopy clean?

Yes. Every CLEANEY canopy cleaning service is followed by a written service certificate issued within 24 hours. It includes timestamped photographic records of pre- and post-clean conditions, grease accumulation classification, a full description of work performed, any conditions identified for the facility's attention, and a recommended next service interval. This documentation package is formatted to support AS 1668.1 compliance records, insurer requirements, and council inspection needs.

Can CLEANEY clean canopy systems in operating kitchens without causing disruption?

CLEANEY schedules canopy cleaning outside operational hours wherever this is required — early morning, overnight, and weekend scheduling is available at no additional charge. We also carry out protected-area cleaning during non-cooking periods in kitchens that operate in shifts, allowing cleaning to occur between service periods. All scheduling is confirmed in writing with the facility manager prior to the service date to ensure no operational conflict.

Does CLEANEY service multi-site organisations across Melbourne?

Yes. CLEANEY operates multi-site programs for healthcare groups, education providers, hospitality networks, and corporate facility portfolios across Melbourne. Multi-site clients receive centralised digital compliance reporting, unified scheduling coordination, consistent technician training standards across all locations, and a single account manager as the point of contact. This eliminates the administrative burden of managing multiple cleaning contractors and maintaining separate documentation systems across different sites.

What chemicals does CLEANEY use in canopy cleaning, and are they safe for food environments?

CLEANEY uses food-safe alkaline degreasers that are formulated for commercial kitchen environments. All chemicals used are appropriate for food preparation area use and are fully rinsed from surfaces following application. Chemical safety data sheets are available on request for any facility requiring them for their chemical register under WorkSafe Victoria obligations. We do not use chlorinated solvents or products that leave residues incompatible with food safety requirements.

What happens if CLEANEY identifies a damaged or non-compliant duct during the cleaning service?

If a CLEANEY technician or QC manager identifies damaged ductwork, blocked grease drains, deteriorated fan components, or any condition that presents an elevated fire or compliance risk, this is documented photographically and reported in writing to the facility manager within the service report. CLEANEY does not carry out structural repairs outside our defined scope, but we clearly describe the condition and recommended remediation action so your facility team or building services contractor can take appropriate steps promptly.
