Our Story
Our former Managing Director and Owner (Kevin Gardiner) of Vat Cleaning Services (VCS) started the company over 30 years ago. Over this time, VCS has developed extensive industry experience and knowledge, as well as having significantly grown in team size.
VCS first started cleaning fryers for a small client base of takeaways, lunch bars and cafeterias. We quickly expanded our services into extractor system cleaning (such as hoods, fans, filters, flues and kitchens).
In conjunction with servicing our smaller clients, VCS's sound reputation enabled us to subsequently grow into servicing large national catering companies. Through this expansion and success, we remain diligent in the delivery of high-quality service.
We have a team of exceptional and well trained personnel, whom pride themselves on the high quality of service that VCS live by.
Our services provide a complete end-to-end offering for all your kitchen cleaning needs.
In a nutshell, VCS is extremely well qualified to provide optimum cleaning service solutions to our customers.
Our Strategy for Success
- Vision: Creating a satisfying and happy work environment for all.
- Mission: To be committed to quality and consistent service, gaining respect through client satisfaction, earning a reputation of a dedicated and efficient team enjoying every aspect of our work.
- Values: Commitment, Collaboration (team player), Quality Excellence (do things right the first time), Integrity (honest & reliable).
What others say about us...
Harry at VCS responded to our enquiry fairly quicky, we were presented with an agreeable quote to clean our extractor fan in the kitchen. The cleaning level caried out by Harry and his co-worker was fantastic, the hood was thoroughly cleaned inside and out, we are very impressed.
Additional services were also offered to maintain our extractor fan and remove oils etc, which makes things easier for us.
Many thanks to Harry and his team for the fantastic job.

I have utilised Vat Cleaning Services skill set at two different companies over the last 5 years and have been very happy with the quality of workmanship. All tasks are completed to a high standard and they are always willing to assist in overcoming any challenges that arise. The team communicates clearly and are continuously proactive in looking for better ways they could help. I find all staff members to be friendly and approachable right through the team. I would recommend Vat Cleaning Services to any business.

The selection of VCS turned out to be not so much about the comparative price, but the positive impression you gave when you visited PREFAB to quote.
Both boss Jeff and I were impressed with your:
- Obvious excellent knowledge/experience with hood equipment and maintenance.
- Thorough assessment process.
- Clear communication and neat/tidy turnout.
These things are something we are not used to in the hood maintenance area. Well done.

We have been using Vat Cleaning Services in our Burger Wisconsin store for cleaning our deep fryers and refilling with their supply of corn canola oil. As well as the fryers they replace our filters in our extraction hood above the grill weekly.
Ian, PJ and the team are very professional to deal with, along with very competitive pricing. The fryers come up spotless after they have visited, and the quality of the oil is excellent. The team have been commenting on how clean the fryers are and the oil quality has improved so great job to you guys!!
I would not hesitate to recommend Vat Cleaning Services for any business looking for these services.
