Peterborough’s Trusted Hood Cleaning for Cafes & Cottages
Deep cleaning for the gateway to the Kawarthas. Whether you're a Hunter Street cafe or a high-volume student hub, we keep your system compliant and ready for the rush.
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 Electric City 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
Peterborough's food scene punches above its weight, anchored by the Hunter Street Cafe District where distinct local eateries like Sam's Place and Blackhoney thrive. The Trent University student population drives consistent dining traffic, while summer brings an explosion of visitors for Musicfest, generating over $600k in restaurant spending alone. This seasonal elasticity requires kitchen systems that are ready for sudden, intense volume spikes.

Fire Code Enforcement
Peterborough Fire Services strictly enforces NFPA 96, especially in the historic downtown core where older building stock means shared walls and complex ventilation paths. We ensure your system is compliant and safe for the entire block.
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.
Digital Certification
Total compliance proof. You receive a digital report containing before/after photos and an official NFPA 96 certificate for your insurance provider.
