System-Specific Cleaning for High-Use Kitchens

Commercial kitchen exhaust systems vary significantly between facilities—especially in large-scale operations such as hospitals, correctional centres, and institutional food services.


DM & MM Services delivers targeted cleaning solutions based on system design, grease levels, and operational demands. Our process begins with a full assessment of your extraction setup to determine access points, buildup severity, and the condition of fans and ductwork.


By understanding how each system functions under pressure, we can apply the right methods and equipment to remove grease deposits and restore safe ventilation. This helps mitigate fire risk, improves airflow, and protects critical infrastructure.


Our services also support compliance with relevant commercial kitchen hygiene and fire safety standards. Ongoing maintenance reduces unplanned downtime, minimises strain on ventilation components, and extends the lifespan of your system.


For facilities where safety, reliability, and uninterrupted service are priorities, regular exhaust cleaning is not optional—it’s operationally essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does exhaust and ductwork cleaning entail and how does it help commercial kitchens?

    Exhaust and ductwork cleaning removes grease, smoke, and contaminants from commercial kitchen ventilation systems. This includes hoods, filters, fans, and ducts—preventing fire hazards, improving airflow, and ensuring safety and compliance. Regular cleaning supports efficient kitchen operation and reduces heat and odour buildup from daily cooking activities.

  • How often should the kitchen ducting and extraction fan be cleaned?

    The frequency of kitchen duct cleaning depends on factors such as the type of

    cooking, the volume of use, and how regularly the canopy and filters are

    maintained. A well-maintained canopy and filter system can help extend the

    time between duct cleans, but as a general guideline, it is recommended that

    kitchen ducts be professionally cleaned every six months to annually to help

    reduce fire risk and ensure efficient extraction.

  • Why is it important to clean kitchen exhaust systems regularly?

    Regular kitchen exhaust cleaning is critical for several reasons:


    • Fire prevention
    • Health & hygiene
    • Legal compliance
    • Equipment longevity
    • Energy efficiency

    Eliminating any risks to kitchen exhausts and ducts can help the business promote a safe working environment.
