Hood Cleaning Services in Bradford and Northern York Region
Bradford Hood Cleaning Pros is a commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning company serving Bradford West Gwillimbury, Newmarket, Aurora, East Gwillimbury, King Township and Georgina. It offers ten services, and all of them are parts of one system: the grease-carrying path that runs from the cook line up to the rooftop fan. Most kitchens book the whole path on one overnight visit. The individual pages below exist because operators arrive with a specific problem, a blinded filter bank, a fan nobody can open, grease showing on the roof, and want to read about that before booking anything.
The ten services, and where each one sits in the system
Grease leaves a cook line as vapour, condenses as it cools, and deposits along the path. Each service below cleans a different part of that path.
Commercial Hood Cleaning
The whole path on one visit, canopy to rooftop fan, for Bradford kitchens. This is what most operators mean when they call, and it is the service the certificate is issued against. From $385 per visit.
Exhaust Hood Cleaning
The canopy itself: the hood body, the capture edge, the grease trough, the light housings and the baffle track. The visible part, and the part an inspector looks at first.
Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning
The duct path behind the hood: the horizontal run, every elbow and transition, the vertical riser, and the access panels needed to reach them. The part that carries the real fire risk.
Restaurant Hood Cleaning
The same work framed around a restaurant's operating problem: shift scheduling, insurance renewal dates, fire inspections, and franchisor paperwork deadlines.
Hood Filters
Baffle filters pulled, degreased and refitted, with warped or damaged units flagged rather than quietly put back. A blinded filter bank pushes grease straight up the duct.
Rooftop Grease Containment
The fan housing, the blower wheel, the curb and the roof around the discharge. Grease on a membrane roof is a landlord problem long before it is a fire one.
Exhaust Fan Hinge Kits
A hinge kit lets a rooftop fan tip back safely so the housing and the top of the riser can be reached. Without one, that section gets cleaned by guesswork or not at all.
Kitchen Equipment Cleaning
Fryers, char grills, ranges and the equipment surfaces under the canopy, cleaned on the same overnight visit so the line is ready for the morning.
Commercial Kitchen Cleaning
The kitchen structure itself: walls, ceilings, shelving, the surfaces behind and under the line, and the places grease reaches that no exhaust hood covers.
Restaurant Cleaning Services
A scheduled deep-clean programme for a restaurant kitchen, timed around service and combined with the exhaust visit so one contractor handles the whole back of house.
Full-system clean vs partial scope: what each actually buys
A full-system clean covers every surface in the grease path and can be certified. A partial scope cleans what is easy to reach and cannot.
| Scope | Sections cleaned | Certificate issued | When it is the right choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full system | Canopy, filters, plenum, full duct run, riser, rooftop fan and curb. | Yes, naming every section. | Every scheduled visit. This is the default and what pricing is quoted against. |
| Filters only | Baffle filters pulled, degreased and refitted. | No. | A mid-cycle top-up between full visits on a heavy fry line, never a replacement for one. |
| Canopy only | The visible hood body and trough. | No. | Rarely the right choice. It is the scope that makes a system look clean while the duct keeps loading. |
| Rooftop only | Fan, curb and roof area around the discharge. | No. | A landlord acting on roof staining while the tenant's own contractor handles the interior. |
The reason partial scopes cannot be certified is straightforward. The NFPA 96 grease limit applies to any surface in the exhaust path, so a certificate covering part of that path would be asserting something nobody checked. Where a partial visit happens, it is documented as exactly what it was.
How much do hood cleaning services cost in Bradford in 2026?
Bradford Hood Cleaning Pros prices from $385 per visit for a single-hood kitchen and from $725 for a multi-hood kitchen of two to four canopies.
Those two figures cover most independent kitchens in Bradford, Newmarket, Aurora and Georgina. Above them, the variables that move a number are canopy count, the length and shape of the duct run, whether access panels already exist, and how the roof is reached. Institutional kitchens, contract-catered food service and multi-tenant buildings with a shared riser are quoted on site, because guessing on any of those produces a number that has to be revised, which helps nobody.
Every quote covers the same deliverables regardless of scope: before-and-after photographs of every cleaned surface, a signed health and safety certificate referencing the published NFPA 96 standard, and proof of WSIB coverage and liability insurance supplied before work starts. Nothing on that list is an upsell.
The full breakdown is on the hood cleaning cost guide, and the code questions are answered without a quote attached on the NFPA 96 guide. To book a walk-through, call 365-809-0864 or use the contact page.
Hood cleaning services: frequently asked questions
How the services fit together, and which one you actually need.
Do I need to book each of these services separately?
No. A standard visit covers the full path from the canopy to the rooftop fan as one job at one price, and that is what the certificate is issued against. The individual service pages exist because operators arrive with a specific symptom and want to understand it. Hinge kit installation is the one genuine add-on, because it is hardware fitted to the fan rather than cleaning work.
What is the difference between hood cleaning and kitchen exhaust cleaning?
In everyday use they mean the same job, and the whole system needs cleaning either way. The distinction is useful when scoping: the hood is the canopy over the cook line, and the kitchen exhaust is everything behind it, meaning the plenum, the duct run, the riser and the fan. Operators asking for "hood cleaning" almost always need the exhaust work too, and a contractor who quotes only the canopy has quoted the easy half.
Can you clean the cooking equipment at the same time?
Yes. Fryers, char grills, ranges and the equipment surfaces under the canopy can be cleaned on the same overnight visit, which is efficient because the line is already down and the crew is already on site. It is quoted separately from the exhaust work so you can see what each part costs.
Does Bradford Hood Cleaning Pros do duct cleaning for HVAC systems?
No. The scope here is the grease-carrying kitchen exhaust path only: canopy, filters, plenum, grease duct, riser and rooftop exhaust fan. Building HVAC and ventilation duct cleaning is different work under a different standard and is not offered. A contractor who does both should be able to tell you which standard each job is being performed to.
Which service should I start with if I have never had this done?
Start with the free walk-through rather than with a service. It takes under an hour, covers the line and the roof, and produces a written scope and interval you can act on. Choosing a service first is guessing at the answer before anyone has looked at the system, and the part that usually needs attention is the part nobody can see from the floor.
