Keeping Kitchens Compliant and Safe in Darwin and NT

In Northern Territory, health and fire safety regulations require commercial kitchens – whether in bustling restaurants, busy hotels, or corporate kitchens – to maintain rigorous standards for their exhaust systems. The NT Fire and Rescue Service and the Department of Health have strict guidelines to ensure systems remain safe, sanitary, and free from fire hazards.

With our professional cleaning, businesses in Darwin and beyond can significantly reduce fire risks and ensure compliance with these essential regulations, keeping both staff and patrons safe.

Local codes and regulations specify that kitchen exhaust systems should meet standards, including those in AS 1851-2012, which outlines fire safety system maintenance requirements.

Regular cleaning prevents flammable grease build-up that can lead to hazards, while maintaining a clean, well-ventilated kitchen environment for employees and customers alike.

Service Benefits: Designed for Northern Territory’s Humid Climate

Darwin’s high humidity and warm climate place additional demands on kitchen exhaust systems. This tropical environment accelerates the build-up of grease and grime, which can lead to blockages and increase the risk of fire hazards.

The humid conditions also encourage mould and bacteria growth, which makes regular, thorough exhaust cleaning essential to keep kitchen spaces safe and hygienic.

Our exhaust cleaning services are specifically designed to meet these unique challenges.

We use high-quality, humidity-resistant equipment and rigorous cleaning protocols to handle the increased build-up typical in tropical climates.

Regular maintenance helps reduce wear on your system, minimising the likelihood of breakdowns and extending the life of your equipment.

Recommended Cleaning Frequency for Northern Territory Kitchens

Due to NT’s climate and regulatory requirements, we recommend cleaning kitchen exhaust systems every 3 to 6 months, depending on cooking volume and grease production levels.

High-use kitchens, such as those in restaurants or hotels, may require more frequent cleaning – sometimes monthly – to ensure safe and compliant operations. This frequency aligns with AS 1851-2012 guidelines, helping businesses prevent potential fire risks, odours, and system breakdowns.

A proactive cleaning schedule can help your businesses mitigate risks, reduce downtime, and maintain compliance.

At Lotus Commercial, we work closely with each client to develop a tailored maintenance plan, providing reminders and scheduling services to meet the specific needs of their operations.
