Restaurant hood cleaning service for six kinds of Burlington kitchen
Six segments book most of the hood cleaning in Burlington.
Independent restaurants, burger and grill kitchens, pubs and bars on Brant Street, Lakeshore Road, Plains Road East and Appleby Line. Owners here ask for one contractor to hold a recurring interval and take the hood, roof fan and ductwork in one scope, under one certificate.
Food trucks and their commissary kitchens. Trucks working Ribfest at Spencer Smith Park, the Sound of Music Festival and the summer lakeshore events carry a hood that needs the same certificate as the restaurant behind it.
School and campus kitchens. Both Halton school boards are headquartered in Burlington. A board with many kitchens needs each certificate filed centrally and a crew that works around the school day.
Hotel, banquet and event kitchens along the QEW and Highway 403 corridor. Harvester Road, North Service Road and Mainway hold the hotel lines, and downtown venues near the Burlington Performing Arts Centre run banquet volume on weekends.
Workplace cafeterias in the food plant and manufacturing employers along the QEW corridor. The kitchen feeds a shift, and the plant insurer wants the certificate on file.
Healthcare and retirement residences. Joseph Brant Hospital sits on Lakeshore Road downtown, and the retirement residences across the city cook three services a day, every day.
Where to find hood cleaning near me in Burlington
Burlington Hood Cleaning covers the City of Burlington and nothing outside it.
The City of Burlington sits at the west end of Lake Ontario against the Niagara Escarpment, inside Halton Region, with a population of 186,948 at the 2021 census. Its kitchens line its corridors. Brant Street, Lakeshore Road and Village Square carry the downtown patio season. Plains Road runs through Aldershot. Harvester Road, North Service Road and Mainway hold the hotel and plant kitchens along the QEW. Upper Middle Road, Walkers Line, Appleby Line and Dundas Street serve the plaza kitchens of Headon Forest, Palmer, Millcroft, Tansley, Alton Village and The Orchard, and the rural north above Dundas Street reaches Kilbride, Lowville and Mount Nemo.
Two inspections apply to every one of those kitchens. The Burlington Fire Department, headquartered at Station 1 on Fairview Street, enforces the Ontario Fire Code, which references NFPA 96. Halton Region Public Health inspects food premises under its Dinewise program and posts the results publicly. Community by community detail is on the areas served page.
What happens on a Burlington hood cleaning visit
Seven steps, in the same order on every job.
- Free walk-through. Canopies counted and measured, filter type noted, duct followed to the roof, missing access panels written down.
- Written quote within 24 hours. Scope and price in one document, with any extra (such as a new access panel) as its own line to approve or decline.
- Insurance proof before work starts. Proof of WSIB coverage and liability insurance reaches you, and the landlord where the roof is involved, before work starts.
- Kitchen protected. The cooking line is covered and the floor sheeted before the first spray.
- System cleaned section by section. Filters come out, the canopy and plenum are stripped to bare metal, the duct is reached through its panels, and the rooftop fan is opened and cleaned inside.
- Photographs before and after. Every surface is photographed dirty and again at bare metal, plenum and duct interior included.
- Signed certificate. A health and safety certificate referencing the published NFPA 96 standard, listing the sections cleaned and the date. Burlington Hood Cleaning is not affiliated with NFPA.
The services page matches each symptom to the right scope. Method detail is on the hood cleaning services and kitchen exhaust cleaning pages; the about page explains how the business runs.
Hood cleaning company in Burlington: what to look for
Judge a hood cleaning company by the paperwork it leaves behind. Five things to ask for.
Photographs of the hidden sections. Ask for the plenum, the duct interior and the fan housing, not only a shiny canopy.
A certificate that lists sections and dates. The NFPA 96 page explains what the certificate does and does not assert.
Insurance proof before the first visit. WSIB coverage and liability insurance, both in writing, before the crew is on your roof.
An interval set by what you cook. A charbroiler bank, a wok line and a soup servery each earn a different cycle. The NFPA 96 page carries the published inspection intervals.
A crew that handles the roof fan too. Repairs and rooftop grease containment are covered on the exhaust fan repair and installation page.
Hood cleaning Ontario prices: how much does it cost in Burlington in 2026?
Burlington Hood Cleaning charges from $585 per visit for a single-hood kitchen up to ten feet and from $995 per visit for a multi-hood kitchen of two to four canopies. Larger systems are quoted on site after a free walk-through, and the written quote comes back within 24 hours.
The number of canopies and their length set the price of a visit. What cooks under them sets how many visits a year you need, so a charbroiler kitchen and a retirement residence spend different amounts over a year on hoods of the same size. Fan repair and solid-fuel appliances are quoted per job after the walk-through.
Burlington Hood Cleaning serves commercial kitchens only. Home range hoods are not serviced.

Does Burlington Hood Cleaning clean home range hoods?
No. Burlington Hood Cleaning serves commercial kitchens only. A range hood in a house or a condo is not serviced.

The whole City of Burlington, from Aldershot and downtown to Millcroft, Alton Village and rural north Burlington, including Kilbride, Lowville and Mount Nemo. The areas served page has the detail.
What should be ready before calling for a hood cleaning quote?
Three things: the canopy count and rough length, what the line cooks, and the date on the last certificate if there is one. Call 289-797-3190, or read the contact page for the rest, including who holds the roof key.
