Who we are
Your Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Company in Melbourne
Apex Commercial Exhaust Pty Ltd is a specialist commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning and maintenance business serving Melbourne’s hospitality, food service and commercial property sectors.
We understand that operating a commercial kitchen involves more than preparing food and delivering excellent customer service. Behind every busy kitchen is an extraction system responsible for removing heat, smoke, cooking odours and grease-laden vapours from the cooking environment.
Learn more
Over time, grease and cooking residue can accumulate inside the kitchen canopy, exhaust ductwork, grease filters, fan blades and ventilation components.
Without appropriate cleaning and maintenance, this accumulation can contribute to reduced extraction performance, hygiene concerns, equipment deterioration and increased fire hazards.
Our business focuses on providing professional kitchen exhaust cleaning services that help commercial kitchen operators manage these challenges. We clean all accessible and reachable areas of your kitchen exhaust system within the agreed scope of work.
We work with restaurant owners, hospitality operators, commercial property managers, facility managers and businesses seeking reliable commercial exhaust cleaning contractors.
Whether your business requires a one-off kitchen exhaust deep clean, scheduled commercial canopy cleaning, routine grease duct maintenance or an ongoing grease filter exchange program, Apex aims to provide a service tailored to your equipment and operational requirements.

Our values
The Foundation of Apex Commercial Exhaust
01
Safety and responsibility
We recognise that commercial kitchen exhaust systems can contain significant grease deposits and require careful cleaning and maintenance. Our approach emphasises suitable work methods, equipment protection, safe access and responsible grease removal.
02
Quality workmanship
We believe that professional commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning requires attention to both visible and less accessible areas of the extraction system. Our focus is on the quality and completeness of the agreed cleaning scope.
03
Integrity and transparency
We aim to communicate honestly about cleaning requirements, system accessibility, service limitations and maintenance recommendations.
04
Reliability and professionalism
We understand that commercial kitchens operate under demanding schedules. Our objective is to provide organised, dependable services that respect our clients’ time and business operations.
05
Customer-focused service
Every kitchen has different equipment, cooking volumes, cleaning requirements and operating hours. We aim to understand those differences and recommend suitable cleaning and maintenance arrangements.
06
Continuous improvement
We value ongoing learning, practical industry knowledge and improvements in cleaning methods, documentation and customer service.
Our expertise
Complete Commercial Kitchen Exhaust System Cleaning
Apex Commercial Exhaust specialises in the cleaning and maintenance of commercial kitchen extraction systems. Our services address the major components of kitchen exhaust equipment, including canopies, ducts, fans and grease filters.
Commercial Kitchen Canopy & Rangehood Cleaning Specialists
Commercial kitchen canopies collect grease, oil vapours and cooking residue during everyday kitchen operations. Our commercial canopy cleaning services focus on removing accumulated grease from accessible stainless steel canopy surfaces, internal canopy areas, grease channels and associated extraction components.
We provide kitchen canopy cleaning for restaurants, cafés, hotels, pubs, takeaway kitchens and commercial catering facilities.
Related services: commercial canopy cleaning, restaurant canopy cleaning, commercial rangehood cleaning, stainless steel canopy degreasing and kitchen exhaust hood cleaning.
Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Duct Cleaning Specialists
Grease accumulation inside commercial exhaust ductwork is a major maintenance concern for commercial kitchens. Cooking vapours travel through the extraction system, depositing grease and oil residue along accessible horizontal and vertical duct sections.
Our commercial kitchen exhaust duct cleaning services focus on removing grease from accessible ductwork using appropriate cleaning techniques. We assist businesses with kitchen exhaust duct cleaning, grease duct degreasing, restaurant exhaust duct cleaning and scheduled duct maintenance.
Related services: commercial grease duct cleaning, kitchen ventilation duct cleaning, exhaust duct degreasing and commercial kitchen ductwork cleaning.
Commercial Exhaust Fan Cleaning & Maintenance Specialists
Commercial exhaust fans are important components of kitchen extraction systems. Grease accumulation on fan blades, housings and surrounding extraction components can affect airflow and contribute to mechanical maintenance concerns.
Apex provides commercial kitchen exhaust fan cleaning, rooftop fan degreasing and preventative maintenance support. Our services focus on cleaning accessible fan components and identifying visible issues that may require additional servicing.
Related services: commercial exhaust fan cleaning, restaurant extraction fan cleaning, rooftop exhaust fan cleaning, exhaust fan blade degreasing and kitchen ventilation fan maintenance.
Commercial Grease Filter Cleaning & Exchange Specialists
Grease filters help capture airborne grease before it enters commercial kitchen ductwork. Over time, filters can become contaminated with cooking grease and residue. Regular filter cleaning and appropriate replacement are important elements of kitchen exhaust maintenance.
Apex offers commercial kitchen grease filter cleaning and scheduled filter exchange arrangements. Where suitable clean replacement filters are available, a filter exchange program can help businesses maintain their grease filters with less disruption to daily kitchen operations.
Related services: commercial grease filter cleaning, kitchen canopy filter cleaning, stainless steel baffle filter cleaning, grease filter replacement and commercial kitchen filter exchange programs.
Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Preventative Maintenance
Commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning should form part of an organised maintenance program. Cleaning requirements can vary depending on cooking volume, grease production, equipment condition and applicable maintenance obligations.
Apex supports businesses through scheduled cleaning arrangements, maintenance observations and cleaning documentation. Our preventative maintenance approach helps customers plan future services rather than relying solely on reactive cleaning.
Fire safety & Australian Standards
Our Approach to Kitchen Exhaust Fire Safety and Australian Standards
Supporting Safer Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Maintenance
Further reading: the AS 1851 summary on the Australian Government business information service and the NCC guide to kitchen local exhaust ventilation (F6D12).
Commercial kitchen exhaust systems carry grease-laden vapours through canopies, ducts and extraction fans. When grease accumulates within these systems, it can contribute to fire hazards and other operational concerns.
AS 1851 and your obligations
Professional kitchen exhaust cleaning helps remove accumulated grease and supports a broader maintenance and fire risk management program.
Learn more
Apex recognises the importance of relevant Australian Standards, including AS 1851, and the need for commercial kitchen operators to understand their maintenance obligations.
Cleaning requirements may also be influenced by applicable building requirements, equipment specifications, insurance conditions and site-specific risk assessments.
Our services can support customers through
- Professional removal of accumulated grease
- Cleaning of accessible canopy and exhaust components
- Kitchen exhaust duct degreasing
- Rooftop exhaust fan cleaning
- Routine grease filter cleaning and exchange
- Before-and-after cleaning documentation
- Maintenance observations and recommendations
- Planned cleaning schedules
Please note
We aim to provide clear records of the work performed so customers can maintain accurate service histories.
Exhaust cleaning does not by itself establish compliance with every applicable fire safety, building or insurance requirement. Formal certification and specialist inspections must be completed by appropriately qualified or authorised parties where required.
