Servicing Greater Brisbane
Commercial Kitchen Exhaust & Canopy Cleaning in Brisbane
Serviced from our Queensland depot, with every Brisbane kitchen maintained to AS 1851-2012 and documented in a detailed photo report.
Locally based
Kitchen exhaust cleaning in Brisbane, done locally
If you run commercial kitchens across Brisbane, whether a QSR network, a pub/club group, food-court tenancies or aged-care and campus kitchens, every site carries the same obligation: a clean, documented exhaust system that stands up at audit. The challenge is keeping that standard consistent across sites you’ll never personally visit.
We service Brisbane from our Queensland depot just south of the city, so you get faster scheduling and response than an interstate provider, with crews who regularly work the city’s venues. Every job is documented with a detailed report.

Learn moreQLD compliance
Queensland compliance, documented
In Queensland, the building occupier carries duties to maintain prescribed fire safety installations (commercial kitchen exhaust systems included) and certify them annually through the building’s Occupier’s Statement, the annual fire-safety report. Based on our reading of the framework, that means a documented cleaning and inspection regime, with the records to back it up. AS 1851-2012 is the standard we clean and document to, and our reports give the occupier the evidence behind that annual certification. We do the AS 1851-2012 maintenance and supply those records; we don’t sign the certificate itself.
We keep the legal specifics general here on purpose, because obligations vary by building classification and use. We’ll assess your site and recommend a cleaning schedule that supports your QLD obligations.

Every Brisbane clean includes
- Before & after photo evidence (generally 30+ per job), ready for an insurer or audit request
- A certificate of works completed to AS 1851-2012
- A detailed report, kept on site for your records
- A recommended cleaning schedule set to each site’s cooking load
Maintained to AS 1851-2012, and documented so you can produce the records at audit, insurance renewal or a landlord review.
Whether you run one Brisbane site or a multi-site portfolio, we bring the same training and the same standard to every job. And every clean comes with a detailed report: documented evidence you can hand an insurer, auditor or landlord, proving the ductwork and fan were cleaned, not just the canopy.

FAQ
Common questions about exhaust cleaning in Brisbane
Do you have a local Brisbane crew?
Yes. We service Brisbane from our Eagleby depot, so it’s genuinely local coverage from our own trained, accredited team, which means faster scheduling and response.
Where in Greater Brisbane do your crews work?
We cover Greater Brisbane and the surrounding region, including Brisbane CBD, Fortitude Valley, South Brisbane, Chermside, Mount Gravatt, Toowong, Ipswich, Logan, Redcliffe, North Lakes, Carindale and Sunnybank. If you’re not sure we reach your site, give us a call on 1800 800 235.
How often do Brisbane kitchens need exhaust cleaning?
It depends on cooking type and volume. High-output kitchens often need monthly cleaning, lighter operations quarterly. We assess each site and recommend a schedule that supports compliance with AS 1851-2012.
Do you document each Brisbane clean for QLD fire-safety records?
Yes. Every clean comes with a detailed report, generally 30 or more before/after photos plus a certificate of works completed to AS 1851-2012. That gives the building occupier the evidence behind their Occupier’s Statement in Queensland; we do the AS 1851-2012 maintenance and supply the records; we don’t sign the certificate itself.
How detailed is the photo report for a Brisbane job?
Generally 30 or more per clean, delivered with your report. It’s documented evidence you can hand an insurer, auditor or landlord, proving the ductwork and fan were cleaned, not just the canopy.
What do your Brisbane crews clean beyond the canopy?
The full system. Canopy cleaning on its own leaves the heaviest grease untouched in the ductwork and fan, so every Brisbane job covers the canopy, filters, ductwork and exhaust fan, cleaned to bare metal where accessible so the system is maintained to AS 1851-2012. The photos in your report show each of those stages.
Do you offer overnight or early-morning cleans in Brisbane?
Yes. Most Brisbane cleans run overnight or in the early morning, so the kitchen is trading again by the breakfast shift. Weekends and public holidays are available where that suits a site better, and any after-hours work is included in the quote from the outset rather than added later.
How does quoting work for multi-site groups in Brisbane?
Every quote starts with a no-obligation site assessment, and multi-site groups get volume-based pricing with travel and after-hours work priced in upfront. We build one cleaning schedule across your Brisbane portfolio, set each site’s frequency to its cooking load, and document every job the same way, so head office sees a consistent record.
