Areas we cover around Ballarat

We service commercial kitchens across the City of Ballarat and the surrounding Central Highlands towns, from the Sturt Street and Bridge Mall precincts to the spa-country venues around Daylesford. Regional work is scheduled in runs, grouping kitchens in the same area so each visit is planned properly rather than squeezed in.

Ballarat is around an hour and a half up the Western Freeway from Melbourne, so it slots easily into a regional run — often alongside Ballan, Creswick or Daylesford on the same trip. If you run more than one venue in the region, we can line up all your sites for the same visit.

What a Ballarat kitchen exhaust clean includes

A kitchen exhaust system is only compliant when the whole system has been cleaned — not just the part you can see from the kitchen floor. Every Ballarat clean covers:

Canopy & plenum

Degreased inside and out, including the plenum behind the filters.

Baffle filters

Removed and cleaned, or swapped through our filter exchange service.

Ductwork

Horizontal and vertical runs, internal and external surfaces.

Exhaust fan

Roof-mounted fan cleaned — usually the dirtiest part of the system.

Certificate

Issued on the same day, documenting what was cleaned — ready for your insurer or EHO.

Photo report

Before-and-after photos of each component.

Compliance for Ballarat food businesses

Food premises in Ballarat and the Central Highlands are registered with and inspected by the City of Ballarat (or your local shire, such as Hepburn, Golden Plains or Moorabool) under the Victorian Food Act 1984. Kitchen exhaust cleaning is governed by AS/NZS 1851.

  • Cleaning frequency is set by how hard your kitchen works — heavy-use kitchens monthly, typical restaurants quarterly, light-use kitchens around six-monthly
  • A compliance certificate can only be issued once the full system has been cleaned
  • Keep current certificates on site — an Environmental Health Officer can ask to see them
  • Grease traps are covered by your trade waste agreement with Central Highlands Water

Common questions

Do you charge extra to travel to Ballarat?

Every job is quoted individually based on the size of the system and its location. Send us photos and your address and we'll give you a clear quote before any work is booked. Regional work is scheduled in runs, which keeps travel costs down.

Can you clean outside our trading hours?

Yes. After-hours and weekend cleans are available, so most kitchens don't lose any service time.

Do you do grease trap cleaning in Ballarat?

Yes. Our grease trap cleaning service covers pump-outs and drain pit clean-outs across Ballarat, with waste disposal documentation after every job. Your trade waste agreement with Central Highlands Water sets your minimum pump-out frequency.

How do I know the job was done properly?

You receive before-and-after photos of each part of the system and a certificate listing exactly what was cleaned. Our free AS1851 compliance checklist shows what to look for.

Do you service venues in Daylesford and Hepburn Springs?

Yes. Daylesford, Hepburn Springs, Creswick and Clunes are covered on our Central Highlands runs. Food premises in those towns are registered with Hepburn Shire, and grease traps fall under Central Highlands Water, the same as Ballarat.

Do you cover the rest of regional Victoria?

Yes — see all our service areas, including Geelong, Bendigo, Shepparton, Warrnambool and the NSW and SA border cities.
