Commercial hood cleaning for six kinds of Sudbury kitchen
Each kitchen type loads its exhaust system in its own way. The segment pages explain the difference.
Restaurants and franchise kitchens. Family dining rooms, fish and chip shops, wok and shawarma lines, and pizza and burger franchises, from the South End to Chelmsford.
Mine site and camp kitchens. Industrial and remote camp kitchens that feed rotational shifts, often around the clock, where gate access and site rules shape the visit.
Hotels, resorts and lodges. Seasonal properties that want the system clean before the first guests of the year arrive.
Hospitals, clinics and residences. Kitchens where the certificate goes to an insurer or a board as well as the fire inspector.
Colleges, schools and campuses. Cafeterias and teaching kitchens that follow an academic calendar.
Legions, halls and churches. Event-driven kitchens that cook hard a few days a year and sit quiet the rest.
Where to find hood cleaning near me in Sudbury
Sudbury Commercial Hood Cleaning covers the whole City of Greater Sudbury and a set of route-day towns across the northeast.
Greater Sudbury is a single city of 166,004 people at the 2021 census. It formed in 2001 when Sudbury, Capreol, Nickel Centre, Onaping Falls, Rayside-Balfour, Valley East and Walden amalgamated. The commercial kitchens follow the main roads: The Kingsway and Lasalle Boulevard in the east and north, the Four Corners where Regent Street, Paris Street and Long Lake Road meet in the South End, and downtown around Elm Street. Chelmsford, Val Caron, Hanmer, Lively and Garson each have their own plazas and dining rooms.
Mining shapes the local economy. Vale and Glencore operate mines, mills and smelters inside the city, and remote catering serves mining and exploration camps across Northern Ontario. That gives Sudbury a kitchen type most cities do not have: the industrial or camp kitchen that cooks for shifts rather than walk-in customers.
Greater Sudbury Fire Services enforces the Ontario Fire Code in the city, and Public Health Sudbury & Districts inspects food premises. Outside the city, visits run on scheduled route days to North Bay, Sturgeon Falls, Espanola, Little Current, Elliot Lake, Sault Ste. Marie, Timmins and Temiskaming Shores. The areas served page lists each community and its road distance.
What happens on a hood cleaning visit in Sudbury
The same seven steps run in the same order on every job.
- Walk-through at no charge. The technician counts the canopies, measures them, notes the filter type and follows the duct to the roof.
- Written quote. You receive it within 24 hours of the walk-through, with the scope and the price on one page.
- Insurance paperwork. Proof of WSIB coverage and liability insurance reaches you before any work starts.
- Kitchen protected. The cooking line is covered and the floor is sheeted before any degreaser comes out.
- Grease removed, canopy to fan. Filters come out, the canopy and plenum are cleaned to bare metal, the duct is reached through its access panels, and the rooftop fan is opened and cleaned.
- Photographs taken. Every cleaned surface is photographed before and after, including the parts you cannot see from the kitchen floor.
- Certificate signed. A health and safety certificate referencing the published NFPA 96 standard records the date and the sections cleaned. Sudbury Commercial Hood Cleaning is not affiliated with NFPA.
The hood cleaning services page matches each problem to the right service. The commercial hood cleaning page covers the canopy and filters, and the kitchen exhaust cleaning page covers the duct.
Hood cleaning company near me: what to look for in Sudbury
Judge a hood cleaning company by the proof it leaves behind, not by the shine on the canopy face.
Photographs of hidden sections. Ask for the plenum, the duct interior and the fan housing, not only the canopy your staff already wipes.
A certificate with dates and sections. Each part of the system should appear on its own line. The NFPA 96 page explains what the certificate does and does not assert.
Insurance proof up front. WSIB coverage and liability insurance, in writing, before the crew is on site.
An interval set by your cooking. A charbroiler, a wok range and a church hall kitchen do not share a schedule. The NFPA 96 page carries the published intervals.
A rooftop fan that gets opened. Grease collects in the fan housing. The exhaust fan repair page explains why a fan without a hinge kit often gets skipped.
