Kitchen Exhaust — 04

Kitchen Exhaust Systems

Range hoods, exhaust fans and grease-laden ductwork — from a condo kitchen to a commercial cooking line, cleaned end to end and documented.

Kitchen exhaust is the hardest-working ventilation in any building, because it doesn’t just move air — it moves grease. Cooking vapour condenses on every surface it passes: filters, hood interiors, fan wheels, duct walls. Left alone, the system loses airflow steadily, and the accumulating grease becomes a genuine fire load sitting directly above a heat source.

We clean kitchen exhaust end to end, at both scales.

Residential kitchens

For houses, condos and multi-family suites: the range hood, grease filters, fan and accessible exhaust ducting through to the termination, with airflow checked afterward. Recirculating hoods are serviced too, with honest advice about their limits. See kitchen hood & exhaust cleaning for the full residential scope.

Commercial kitchens

For restaurants, hotel kitchens, care-facility kitchens and other commercial cooking operations: hoods, filters, plenums, exhaust fans and accessible grease duct, cleaned on a schedule matched to your cooking volume and documented with before/after photos. Commercial kitchen exhaust is fire-safety work, and we treat the documentation accordingly — your service record shows what was cleaned, when, and what condition the system was in. See commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning for details.

One contractor, whole building

In mixed buildings — a residential tower over a restaurant, a hotel with suites and a commercial kitchen — kitchen exhaust pairs naturally with our dryer exhaust, suite ventilation and rooftop work: one coordinated program, one mobilization, one report covering every system.

Common questions

Do you clean kitchen exhaust systems?

Yes, at both scales. Residential kitchens — houses, condos and multi-family suites — get hood, grease filter, fan and accessible duct cleaning with airflow checked afterward. Commercial kitchens — restaurants, hotels and institutional cooking operations — get hood-to-fan grease exhaust cleaning on a schedule matched to cooking volume, with before/after photo documentation.

Do you service commercial buildings?

Yes. We service commercial properties, hotels, care facilities and institutional buildings — from individual exhaust systems to recurring maintenance programs covering ventilation systems across a whole facility.

How long does service take?

A typical residential dryer vent cleaning takes under an hour. HRV service or combined suite ventilation work usually runs one to two hours. Building-wide programs are scheduled by floor or block of suites and quoted with a clear timeline up front.

What documentation is provided?

Residential customers receive a service record of the work performed and anything worth monitoring. For building-wide programs we provide a completion summary: suites scheduled and completed, no-access units, deficiencies observed, before/after photos where useful, and a recommended date for the next service.
