Commercial and institutional hood cleaning
Municipal, recreation, school and care kitchens, and contract-catered staff cafeterias, with the documentation a facility file needs.
Hood Cleaning in Brampton, Ontario
Hood cleaning is the scheduled removal of cooking grease from a commercial kitchen exhaust system before that grease can fuel a fire: the canopy over the cook line, the baffle filters, the plenum cavity behind them, the accessible duct, and the rooftop exhaust fan. Brampton Hood Cleaning Pros does that work for kitchens across Brampton and Bramalea to the published NFPA 96 standard, which the Ontario Fire Code and commercial insurers use as the technical baseline. Pricing starts at $385 per visit, work runs overnight or before opening, and every job closes with photo proof and a signed certificate.

Which Brampton kitchens Brampton Hood Cleaning Pros cleans
Grease loading, not floor space, decides how a kitchen gets scheduled. These are the room types that make up most of the work in this city.
| Kitchen type | What drives the grease load | Typical visit window |
|---|---|---|
| Independent restaurants | Tandoor and high-heat gas lines, open flat-tops, and daily deep frying put more airborne grease into the canopy than any other room type in Brampton. | Overnight after last service |
| Quick-service and franchise locations | Continuous fryer duty across long opening hours, with a head-office cleaning schedule to satisfy. | Early morning before open |
| Banquet halls and convention centres | Burst cooking for large seatings, then quiet weeks. Grease arrives fast and then bakes on. | Between booked events |
| Community, sports and social clubs | A licensed kitchen used hard on game and event nights and lightly the rest of the week. | Weekday daytime |
| Municipal, school and care kitchens | Steady volume cooking on a fixed calendar, with documentation requirements attached to a facility file. | Scheduled closure or holiday period |
Residential range hoods are not serviced. NFPA 96 governs commercial cooking operations, so a domestic kitchen falls outside both the standard and this scope.

Where in Brampton the crew works
Brampton Hood Cleaning Pros works the city itself rather than a wide regional sprawl, which is what keeps a return visit or a re-clean quick to arrange.
Coverage runs across Brampton and Bramalea: the Queen Street East and Main Street North restaurant strips, Downtown Brampton around Gage Park and the Rose Theatre, the plaza corridors along Kennedy Road, Airport Road, Bovaird Drive and Sandalwood Parkway, and the newer commercial nodes in Springdale, Castlemore, Mount Pleasant, Fletcher's Meadow, Heart Lake and Gore Meadows. The industrial and warehouse kitchens along the Steeles Avenue and Highway 410 corridors are on the same rotation.
Immediately outside the city limits, scheduled route days reach Bolton, Caledon East, Tullamore, Georgetown, Malton and Woodbridge. Kitchens in those communities are quoted on the same route-day basis rather than being charged for a dedicated trip. Full detail sits on the areas served page.
Brampton Fire and Emergency Services is the authority having jurisdiction for fire safety in this city, and its inspectors are the people most likely to ask for the certificate and the photo report that close every visit.
What happens on a visit
The sequence is the same whether the kitchen is a single-hood cafe or a four-canopy banquet line.
- Free walk-through and written quote. The system is measured and inspected, and the quote comes back in writing within 24 hours. The invoice matches the quote.
- Paperwork before the truck. Proof of WSIB coverage and liability insurance is delivered before any crew sets foot in the kitchen.
- Booked outside service hours. Overnight, early morning, or between events, so no shift is lost.
- Clean to the NFPA 96 limit. The exhaust path is degreased to the 0.078 inch limit the standard sets, and containment protects the equipment underneath.
- Documented before you wake up. Before-and-after photographs of every cleaned surface, a signed certificate referencing the NFPA 96 standard, and a dated service sticker on the hood.
The step-by-step detail of the clean itself sits on the full exhaust system clean page.

Common questions from Brampton operators
How often does a Brampton restaurant need its hood cleaned?
NFPA 96 sets inspection frequency by cooking volume, not by calendar habit. High-volume and solid-fuel operations are inspected quarterly, moderate-volume kitchens semi-annually, and low-volume kitchens annually. Most independent Brampton restaurants running a fryer and a high-heat gas line land on a quarterly or semi-annual schedule. The cleaning frequency guide maps the schedule to real kitchen types.
Will the kitchen have to close for the cleaning?
No. Brampton Hood Cleaning Pros books overnight, early morning, or between events, and the containment comes down before the first prep cook arrives. A single-hood kitchen is normally finished inside one visit.
What documentation comes with the job?
Every visit ends with before-and-after photographs of each cleaned surface, a signed certificate of performance referencing the published NFPA 96 standard, and a dated service sticker on the hood. Proof of WSIB coverage and liability insurance is supplied before work starts, not after.
Is Brampton Hood Cleaning Pros certified by the NFPA?
No, and no cleaning company is. The NFPA publishes standards and does not certify contractors. Brampton Hood Cleaning Pros cleans to the published NFPA 96 standard and names that standard on the certificate, which is what gives the document weight with an inspector or an insurer. It is not affiliated with the NFPA.
Does the price cover the rooftop fan as well as the hood?
The from-$385 single-hood price covers the hood assembly. Whether the duct run and the rooftop fan are included depends on access, roof height and duct length, so both are priced during the free walk-through and confirmed in the written quote. Most Brampton kitchens book the hood and the duct as one visit.
