Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning

Hood-to-fan grease exhaust cleaning for restaurants, hotels and institutional kitchens — scheduled around your service hours, documented for inspectors and insurers.

In a commercial kitchen, the exhaust system is a fire-safety system. Grease-laden vapour condenses through the hood, plenum, duct and fan every service hour, and the accumulated layer is exactly the fuel a flare-up needs to become a duct fire. That’s why kitchen exhaust cleaning isn’t housekeeping — it’s the maintenance item your insurer and fire inspector ask about.

What we clean

The full path: hood interiors and plenums degreased, filters cleaned or replaced, accessible grease duct cleaned, and the exhaust fan — where grease accumulation does the most mechanical damage — opened up and degreased, along with its rooftop termination. Before/after photos document the result at each stage, because in this category “trust us, it’s clean” isn’t documentation.

Scheduled around service hours

Kitchens can’t close for cleaning. We work overnight, early morning or on dark days, coordinate with your kitchen manager on shutdown and protection of cooking equipment, and leave the line ready for the next service. For hotels and multi-kitchen facilities, work is phased so no outlet loses a full day.

Frequency by cooking volume

How often depends on what and how much you cook: high-volume frying and solid-fuel cooking build grease far faster than light-duty operations. We’ll recommend an interval based on your actual operation, then keep you on schedule — with reminders and consistent records — so compliance is something that happens automatically rather than something someone has to remember.

Documentation that answers questions

Every service produces a dated record: systems cleaned, condition found, photos, and next service due. When an inspector, insurer, landlord or head office asks about your kitchen exhaust maintenance, the answer is a file, not a shrug.

Common questions

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.

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.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing depends on the systems being serviced, the number of units or fixtures, access requirements (including rooftop work) and travel. Residential services are quoted simply and up front; building-wide programs are quoted after we understand the building’s systems, unit count and scheduling needs.

Do you offer recurring maintenance?

Yes — preventative maintenance is central to how we work. After a first service we recommend an appropriate interval for your systems, and buildings on a recurring schedule get consistent records, predictable budgeting and fewer surprises.
