Professional, Thorough Exhaust Fan & Duct Cleaning

Your kitchen’s exhaust fans and ducting systems are essential for maintaining a clean, safe, and compliant workspace. Over time, grease, dust, and debris can accumulate, reducing airflow, spreading contaminants, and increasing the risk of fire.

At Big Ben Cleaning Services, we specialise in professional, thorough exhaust fan and duct cleaning. Our certified technicians access all areas of your system — even hard-to-reach sections — leaving your kitchen safe, hygienic, and fully compliant with Australian Standard AS 1851.6:2012.
