Expert Hood Cleaning for Ajax's Restaurants & Industrial Kitchens
From the high-volume manufacturing cafeterias on Kingston Road to the bustling family restaurants of Harwood Plaza, we provide the certified fire protection Ajax businesses rely on. Don't let grease buildup risk your operations.
The Invisible Danger Above.
Grease fires don't happen by accident. They are the calculated result of a 4-step chemical process happening in your ducts right now.
Vaporization
Commercial cooking releases grease-laden vapors into your air system.
Condensation
Vapors cool and solidify into fuel on hood surfaces and duct walls.
Restriction
Buildup narrows airflow. Fans strain. Kitchen temperatures spike.
Ignition Risk
One spark hits super-heated grease. Fire spreads to the roof instantly.
Break the Chain Reaction
Routine cleaning removes the Fuel Source (Step 2), completely preventing the restriction and flash-fire risk. We simply reset your safety cycle to zero.
We Know the Ajax Ecosystem.
Every city has its own pulse, regulations, and challenges. We don't just clean hoods; we ensure your kitchen thrives within the local compliance landscape.
The Culinary Landscape
Ajax is a unique mix of high-volume franchise operations along Kingston Road and independent gems in the downtown Harwood district. With the opening of the new Ajax Fairgrounds in 2025, the local hospitality capacity is surging to meet 20,000+ visitors for events like Canada Day and Winterfest. This varying volume requires flexible maintenance schedules.

Fire Code Enforcement
Ajax Fire and Emergency Services strictly enforces the Ontario Fire Code. Inspectors specifically look for valid 6-month service tags on hood suppression systems and 'bare metal' cleanliness in ductwork. Failure to display current tags can result in immediate shutdown orders.
Supply Chain Aware
We coordinate our overnight cleaning windows to ensure we never block your morning deliveries from:
From Greasy to Certified in One Night.
Our 5-step protocol guarantees safety, compliance, and zero downtime for your business.
Zero-Disruption Scheduling
We work while you sleep. Our teams operate overnight or during off-hours to ensure your kitchen service is never interrupted.
Site Protection
We respect your workspace. Appliances are wrapped, sensitive equipment is covered, and floors are protected before a single drop of water is sprayed.
Bare Metal Degreasing
No surface scratching. Just high-temperature, high-pressure steam and professional degreasing agents that strip hoods, fans, and ducts down to bare metal.
Polish & Shine
We don't just clean; we restore. Your hoods are polished to a brilliant shine that impresses health inspectors and fire marshals alike.
