Commercial HVAC & Duct Services, Done Properly
Commercial buildings are not just bigger versions of homes — they carry compliance obligations, run on tight operational windows, and serve occupants whose comfort, health and safety depend on well-maintained air systems. A neglected kitchen canopy is a fire and insurance risk; dirty office ducts affect indoor air quality and staff wellbeing; uncleaned exhaust across a student complex or hotel means odour and moisture complaints across hundreds of rooms. We approach commercial work with the scale, scheduling discipline and compliance focus these buildings require.
Every commercial engagement is scoped and quoted per site, because no two buildings are alike. We assess the systems, access, occupancy and compliance needs, then deliver a clear scope, a schedule built around your operations, and the documentation your building, insurer or owners corporation requires. For ongoing needs, scheduled maintenance contracts keep buildings compliant and comfortable year-round. Request a site assessment to get started.

Frequently Asked Questions — Commercial & Strata
Do you service commercial and strata properties across Melbourne?
Yes — FreshDuct services commercial, strata and institutional properties throughout metropolitan Melbourne, from single tenancies to large multi-building sites. We work with facility managers, owners corporations, property managers, building owners and operators across every sector covered in this library — offices, retail, hospitality, student accommodation, aged care, schools, gyms, industrial and more. Whether you need a one-off clean, a compliance service, or an ongoing scheduled maintenance program, we can scope and quote the work. Call 0431 918 137 or request a site assessment.
What types of commercial property do you service?
We service a broad range of commercial and institutional buildings: office buildings, retail and shopping centres, restaurants and cafés, hotels and serviced apartments, student accommodation, aged care and medical facilities, schools and childcare centres, gyms and fitness centres, warehouses and industrial sites, car parks, and strata/owners corporation common property. The services span duct cleaning, exhaust and kitchen canopy cleaning, HVAC and split/VRV servicing, fire damper testing, and indoor air quality — with the scope tailored to each building and sector.
How is commercial work quoted?
Commercial work is quoted per site after an assessment, because the scope, scale, access and compliance requirements vary enormously between buildings — a 200-apartment student complex, a restaurant kitchen canopy, and a multi-floor office have very different needs. We assess the building, the systems, access and any compliance obligations (such as AS 1851 for kitchen exhaust and fire dampers), then provide a clear scope and fixed quote. For ongoing needs we offer scheduled maintenance contracts. There are no fixed list prices for commercial work — every quote is scoped to the site.
Can you work after-hours and minimise disruption to operations?
Yes — for occupied commercial buildings we routinely schedule work after-hours, overnight, or during quiet periods to avoid disrupting trading, guests, staff or residents. Offices are often done after-hours, hospitality and retail outside trading hours, and student accommodation and hotels around occupancy and turnover. Minimising disruption is a core part of commercial work, and we plan the schedule and access with your facility or property manager so operations continue smoothly. Tell us your constraints and we will build the schedule around them.
Do you provide compliance documentation?
Yes — where work has a compliance dimension, we provide the appropriate documentation. Kitchen exhaust canopy cleaning and fire damper servicing fall under AS 1851 and require cleaning to a standard with certification and records; we deliver the cleaning and the supporting documentation for your building’s compliance and insurance. For duct cleaning and HVAC servicing we provide service reports and condition documentation. This paperwork matters for building compliance, insurance and owners corporation records, and is part of how we deliver commercial work.
