Kitchen Maintenance
Is your complete system not extracting properly do you have excessive heat in the kitchen?
A clean and safe kitchen extends beyond the food preparation and cooking stations. Poor canopy suction is often uncovered only when it’s too late: illness (such as gastro) shuts down a kitchen indefinitely whilst the build-up of grease in commercial kitchen exhaust hoods and fans, coupled with flames or intense heat, can cause fires that damage commercial kitchen equipment, entire business or, worse, cause serious injury to staff or patrons.
You may have a problem with build up of grease resulting in the exhaust fan working harder than normal or you may have a lack of air flow coming into the kitchen resulting with an in balance between extraction and make up air.
If you suspect you have canopy suction issues in your kitchen, we’re here to help.
Our team provide inspections, regular maintenance and restaurant canopy cleaning to specified standards to significantly reduce health and fire risks whilst protecting your staff, customers and bottom-line. If you suspect you have an air flow problem or just want reassurance that your commercial kitchen is operating safely, efficiently and cost-effectively, give Alpha Hospitality a call.

What we can do.
Install access panels
Access panels are part of the Australian Standards AS 1851-2005 and are required every 3 metres in ducting. This is essential in creating a fire break in your system. There are different sizes according to the type of ducts.
Safe working platforms
Due to the current legislation for Work Safe roof accessing this an obligation that is required between our clients and Alpha. A formal safe working plan is needed prior to our servicemen arriving on site. Emergency contact details are required and our technicians establish any requirements at consultation.
24Hour Emergency Fan Break Down
Our technicians are able to conduct a site inspection to identify the size of your fan and in cases where fans are outdated they can calculate the airflow required to achieve replacement.
Order Filters
At the consultation meeting we establish your needs. You may have a new system where you wish to keep your new filters and purchase a second set for exchanges, or may wish to use our pool stock where we replace like for like. New filters can be purchased through Alpha as well.
