Servicing commercial kitchens

Compliance and safety aren't optional.

Grease build-up inside exhaust systems is a major fire risk and a common compliance issue. CanopyTech provides structured exhaust servicing with clear documentation so you can demonstrate maintenance, reduce risk, and avoid last-minute surprises.

Fire Risk

Fire risk

Grease accumulation in ducting and fans is a leading cause of commercial kitchen fires. Regular servicing helps remove that risk at the source.

Audit

Audit and insurer readiness

Insurers, auditors, landlords and councils increasingly expect documented evidence of exhaust maintenance. We provide a clear service record you can keep on file.

Poor Docs

Poor documentation from typical providers

Many providers only do a surface clean and leave little behind. CanopyTech provides a full evidence pack so you have proper documentation if questions are ever raised.

Whole-system scope, not surface-level work.

A proper service covers the full grease path, not just the visible canopy area.

John and the team did a fantastic job cleaning our commercial kitchen canopies. They were professional, easy to communicate with, and a pleasure to work with throughout the process. The quality of their work was excellent, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable service. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

Frequently asked questions.

Answers to the questions we hear most from commercial kitchen operators, facility managers and multi-site businesses.

How often should a commercial kitchen canopy be cleaned?Toggle

This depends on your cooking intensity and volume. Heavy-use kitchens (deep frying, wok, charcoal) typically need servicing every 3–6 months. Medium-use kitchens every 6–12 months. We confirm the right interval during our post-service inspection based on your specific kitchen output.

What is included in a full canopy exhaust system clean?Toggle

We service the entire exhaust system including canopy and hood degreasing inside and out, grease filter cleaning and refitting, accessible ductwork grease removal, and exhaust fan servicing including roof and cyclo fans. Everything is documented with before and after photos and a detailed service report.

Why is canopy cleaning important for commercial kitchens?Toggle

Grease build-up inside exhaust systems is a major fire risk and one of the leading causes of commercial kitchen fires. Regular servicing reduces that risk, helps meet compliance obligations, and provides documented evidence for insurers, auditors, landlords and councils.

Do you provide a certificate of cleaning?Toggle

Yes. A Certificate of Cleaning is provided where applicable and confirmed. This gives you a formal record for your insurer, auditor, landlord or council. It is included as part of the evidence pack delivered after every service.

Do restaurants need canopy cleaning for insurance compliance?Toggle

Insurers increasingly expect documented evidence of exhaust maintenance. Without proper records, a claim related to a kitchen fire could be challenged. Our evidence packs provide a clear service history you can keep on file for audit and insurance purposes.

Do you service ducting and roof fans as well?Toggle

Yes. Our service covers the full exhaust system — not just the visible canopy. We remove grease from accessible ductwork and service exhaust fans including roof-mounted and cyclo fans. The entire grease path is addressed.

How long does a canopy clean take?Toggle

Service duration depends on the system size, grease load and access requirements. A typical single-canopy system takes 3–5 hours. Larger or multi-system kitchens may take longer. We confirm timing when we schedule your service.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance plans?Toggle

Yes. After your first service we can set up a recurring maintenance schedule tailored to your kitchen's usage. This includes automatic reminders, priority booking and consistent documentation for each visit so compliance doesn't fall behind.

Do we need to shut down the kitchen during the clean?Toggle

The kitchen does need to be offline while we work on the exhaust system for safety and effectiveness. That's why we offer after-hours, early morning and weekend servicing options so we can complete the job without disrupting your operations.

What types of kitchens do you service?Toggle

We service all commercial kitchens including restaurants, cafés, pubs, hotels, aged care facilities, hospitals, school canteens, food courts, and commercial catering operations across Melbourne and Victoria.

Do you service food trucks and mobile kitchens?Toggle

Yes, we can service food trucks and mobile kitchen setups. Contact us with details about your setup and we'll confirm scope, access requirements and pricing.

How much does canopy cleaning cost?Toggle

Pricing depends on your system size, grease load, ducting complexity and access requirements. Use our instant estimate tool to get an indicative price range based on your kitchen. Final pricing is confirmed after an on-site inspection by our qualified technician.
