AS1851.6 Compliant - Sydney Hospitality Specialist

Commercial Exhaust Cleaning Sydney

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.

FAQs — Sydney Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning

How often should Sydney commercial kitchen exhausts be cleaned?

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.

How much does commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning cost in Sydney?

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.

What is AS1851.6 and why does it matter for Sydney kitchens?

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.

Do you clean exhaust systems out of hours in Sydney?

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.

Do you handle the grease trap and floor drain at the same time?

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.

Is the AS1851.6 certificate accepted by Sydney insurers and landlords?

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.
