AS1851.6 Compliant - Sydney Hospitality Specialist
Kitchen canopy, hood, duct and exhaust fan degreasing for Sydney restaurants, cafes, pubs, hotels, clubs and aged-care kitchens. AS1851.6-compliant cleans with certificate of compliance for insurance and fire safety.
Sydney commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning to AS1851.6 covers canopies, hoods, ducting, exhaust fans, grease filters and roof discharge. Build-up of grease in kitchen exhaust systems is one of the leading causes of commercial kitchen fires in NSW — your insurer typically requires a current AS1851.6 cleaning certificate to maintain cover. We provide before-and-after photos, grease-depth readings and a compliance certificate after every clean.
Manual scrape, hot-water pressure clean and food-safe degreaser dwell on the canopy interior, filter housings and lower hood. NSF-registered chemicals only.
Access-panel duct cleaning along the full exhaust path from canopy to roof discharge. Where access panels are missing we install new panels (LBA-NSW listed) before cleaning.
Roof-fan and in-line fan housing, impeller blade, motor housing and discharge stack. Working-at-heights certified for roof access on multi-storey buildings.
On-site or off-site grease filter exchange with industrial dishwasher cleans. We can supply replacement filter stock on a managed inventory basis for high-volume Sydney kitchens.
Every clean is documented with grease-depth readings (in millimetres) on canopy, ductwork and fan, before-and-after photos, and an AS1851.6 compliance certificate for your insurer and fire safety log.
24/7 emergency exhaust response for Sydney hospitality operators after a kitchen fire, insurance audit failure or surprise health inspection. Same-day mobilisation across Greater Sydney.
Under AS1851.6 the cleaning frequency depends on cooking volume: quarterly for low-volume cooking (light cafe, light food), every 2 months for medium-volume (typical restaurant), monthly for heavy-volume (charcoal grill, deep-frying, wok cooking). Sydney insurance underwriters generally require a current AS1851.6 cleaning certificate dated within the past 6 months — without it, fire-related claims may be denied.
Sydney commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning is priced per linear metre of canopy plus duct run. A typical small cafe canopy (1.8m, basic duct) runs $380–$580 per clean. A medium restaurant (3m canopy, 8m duct) runs $750–$1,200. Larger commercial kitchens with multiple cooklines and rooftop fans run $1,500–$3,500. Ongoing contracts (quarterly or monthly) attract a 15–25% discount versus one-off cleans.
AS1851.6 is the Australian Standard for cleaning of commercial kitchen exhaust hood systems. It specifies grease-depth limits (typically 50 micron maximum on duct interiors), cleaning method, access panel requirements and documentation. NSW commercial kitchens are required by their insurance policy and many landlord leases to maintain AS1851.6 compliance — non-compliance voids fire cover and can breach the lease.
Yes. Almost all Sydney commercial exhaust cleaning is done after trading hours — typically between 11pm and 6am for restaurants and pubs, and Sunday daytime for cafes. After-hours scheduling is included in the standard quote with no surcharge above 9pm. We work to your operating hours, not the other way around.
Grease trap pump-out is a separate licensed service (Sydney Water Trade Waste licence required). We do not pump grease traps directly but we partner with three Sydney-based licensed contractors and can coordinate a combined exhaust-plus-trap service at the same overnight slot for efficiency.
Yes. Pro Clean Corp issues AS1851.6 compliance certificates that are accepted by every major Australian insurance underwriter and Sydney commercial landlord we have engaged with. The certificate includes grease-depth measurements, before-and-after photos, the cleaning operator's certification reference, and a next-clean-due date.
