Weekend work is subject to availability.
What we clean
The whole exhaust path, in order — every safely accessible component is cleaned and recorded.
- 1. Canopy / hoodInterior and exterior degrease of the visible hood.
- 2. Baffle filtersRemoved, degreased and refitted.
- 3. Plenum chamber & grease guttersBehind the filters — gutters and drip trays cleared.
- 4. Accessible ductwork & access pointsHorizontal and vertical runs we can safely reach.
- 5. Rooftop exhaust fanBlades, housing and grease collection, plus the accessible roof area.
- Optional: commercial kitchen deep cleanA separate add-on for the cooking line, walls and hard-to-reach areas. Quoted separately from the exhaust service.
Anything that cannot be safely accessed, or that is outside the agreed scope, is clearly recorded in your service report with a recommendation.

Your service report & sticker
After a completed job you receive a Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Service Report (also called a Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Service & Verification Certificate). Where applicable it includes:
- Dated record listing the actual scope and components cleaned
- Service sticker showing the clean date and recommended next-service date
- Before-and-after photo log of the serviced components
- Downloadable PDF from the customer portal
- Copy retained by us for reissue if you lose it
Insurers, landlords and auditors may request maintenance evidence; this report is designed to provide it.
This service documentation records the work performed. It does not replace approvals or certifications required by a council, building surveyor, fire contractor, insurer or other authority.
