Locally based

Kitchen exhaust cleaning on the Gold Coast, done locally

The Gold Coast packs an unusually high density of high-output hospitality (the restaurants, resorts and clubs of Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and Southport) and strong seasonal trading peaks that load exhaust systems fast. For multi-site groups and hospitality groups, that means more sites running hard at once, with less room to let a clean slip.

The Gold Coast is covered by our own trained, accredited Queensland crews, who know the Coast’s high-output venues and can work around your trading calendar. That means faster scheduling and faster response. We coordinate kitchen exhaust cleaning across all your Gold Coast venues to one standard, maintained to AS 1851-2012, and document every job with a detailed report, generally 30 or more photos. That gives you documented evidence you can hand an insurer, auditor or landlord, proving the ductwork and fan were cleaned, not just the canopy.

QLD compliance, documented

Cleaned to standard, with the records your building’s Occupier’s Statement relies on

In Queensland, the building occupier carries duties to maintain prescribed fire-safety installations, commercial kitchen exhaust systems included, and to certify them each year. Based on our reading of the framework, that sits under the Building Fire Safety Regulation and the Queensland Development Code (QDC), with AS 1851-2012 as the maintenance standard we clean and document to.

In practice that means a documented cleaning and inspection regime, with the records to back it up. The occupier then has the dated records and photo evidence that sit behind that annual certification, ready when an auditor or insurer asks. SAIS does the AS 1851-2012 maintenance and supplies the records the occupier relies on. We don’t sign the certificate itself.

Every Gold Coast clean includes

  • Before & after photo documentation: generally 30 or more per job
  • A certificate of works completed to AS 1851-2012, one of the maintenance records that supports your Occupier’s Statement
  • A detailed report, kept on site for your records
  • A recommended cleaning schedule for each kitchen

Consolidated across every Gold Coast venue you run, so your operations or facilities team has one clear record for the whole network.

How it works

Three steps to a documented Gold Coast clean

1

Assess & schedule

We assess every site, set the right cleaning frequency for each kitchen's cooking load, and build one schedule across your whole portfolio.
2

Clean to standard

Our trained, accredited technicians clean the canopy, ductwork and fans, maintaining the system to AS 1851-2012 while working around your trading hours.
3

Documented evidence

You get a detailed report, generally with 30 or more photos, plus a certificate for every job. Documented evidence you can hand an insurer, auditor or landlord.

FAQ

Gold Coast exhaust cleaning: common questions

Is your Gold Coast crew local?

Yes. We service the Gold Coast from our Eagleby QLD depot, so it’s genuinely local coverage from our own trained, accredited team, which means faster scheduling and faster response.

Do you cover the whole Gold Coast, or just the main strip?

We cover the full Gold Coast and surrounds, including Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Southport, Robina, Burleigh Heads, Coolangatta, Nerang, Helensvale, Bundall, Mermaid Beach, Varsity Lakes and Coomera. Outer and lower-traffic sites get the same standard and the same documentation as the flagship. If your venue isn’t listed, call us on 1800 800 235.

Can you coordinate multiple Gold Coast venues on one schedule?

Yes. We work with multi-site groups and hospitality groups, coordinating every venue to the same standard with one point of contact and all documentation consolidated for your operations or facilities team.

How regularly do Gold Coast kitchens need a full exhaust clean?

It depends on cooking type and volume. High-output kitchens often need monthly cleaning, lighter operations quarterly. With the strong seasonal peaks around Surfers and Broadbeach, we factor your trading calendar in. We assess each site and recommend a cleaning schedule aligned with AS 1851-2012.

What records do Gold Coast venues get for the Occupier’s Statement?

Every clean comes with a detailed report, generally 30 or more before-and-after photos, plus a certificate of works completed to AS 1851-2012, documented to support your Queensland obligations. SAIS does the AS 1851-2012 maintenance and supplies the records the occupier relies on for the building’s Occupier’s Statement (the annual fire-safety report). We don’t sign the certificate itself. Based on our reading, those obligations sit under the Building Fire Safety Regulation and the QDC.

Will the clean disrupt trading at our Gold Coast venue?

We schedule around your trading hours and aim to minimise disruption, with most cleans run in overnight or early-morning windows for a fast turnaround.

What affects the price of an exhaust clean at a Gold Coast venue?

Every job is quote-based. We scope each kitchen individually, with volume-based pricing for groups running multiple venues across the Gold Coast. Any travel or after-hours work is priced into the quote from the start, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay. The first step is a free, no-obligation site assessment. Call 1800 800 235 to arrange one.

Which parts of the exhaust system do you clean at Gold Coast venues?

The whole system: canopy, filters, ductwork and exhaust fan, cleaned to bare metal where accessible so the system can be maintained to AS 1851-2012. That matters because the grease that fuels fire risk sits inside the ductwork and fan, and our photo documentation shows those hidden sections were actually cleaned.
