02
Belts and pulleys
Belt wear, tension, alignment, pulley condition and recurring issues that can shorten belt life.
03
Motor and bearings
Operating condition, abnormal noise, heat, bearing deterioration and visible motor issues.
04
Electrical equipment

Inspection frequency
Match the interval to the kitchen
There is no honest one-size-fits-all interval. Operating hours, grease exposure, equipment condition and the cost of downtime all matter.
Annual
Lower-demand venues
May suit equipment in sound condition with moderate use and no recurring faults.
6 Monthly
Busy kitchens
Provides more frequent condition checks where equipment operates for long hours or downtime is costly.
Quarterly
High-use or critical sites
May suit demanding kitchens, known deterioration or sites needing closer maintenance oversight.

Frequently asked
Maintenance and mechanical inspections
How often should a commercial kitchen exhaust fan be inspected?
Annual inspection may suit many venues. High-use kitchens or equipment with demanding conditions may benefit from six-monthly or quarterly inspection. We recommend an interval based on usage, condition and operational risk.
Do you clean kitchen exhaust canopies or ductwork?
No. We provide mechanical and electrical maintenance, inspection and repairs. Grease cleaning of canopies, filters and ductwork should be completed by a specialist commercial exhaust cleaning contractor.
What equipment can be included?
The scope may include exhaust fans, motors, belts, pulleys, bearings, starters, VFDs, isolators and relevant ventilation controls. The equipment list is confirmed before attendance.
Do you provide a report?
Findings and recommended actions can be recorded for the agreed inspection scope. Any required repairs or replacements are quoted separately.
Can maintenance be completed outside trading hours?
Where scheduling and access allow, work can be planned around kitchen operations. Applicable after-hours rates are confirmed in advance.
Does maintenance guarantee compliance?
No single maintenance visit automatically certifies an entire ventilation system. We report on the agreed equipment and inspection scope and identify where further testing or rectification is recommended.
