|---|---|

| The hood looks clean but the dining room still smells of stale fryer oil | Kitchen exhaust cleaning for the duct you cannot see from the line. |
| Your insurer or the fire inspector asked what happened above the ceiling | Kitchen exhaust cleaning, so the certificate names the duct as well as the hood. |
| Smoke hangs under the hood, or the roof fan squeals, hums or stops | Exhaust fan repair and installation for the fan on the roof. |
| A dark stain is spreading across the roof around the fan | Exhaust fan repair and installation, which includes rooftop grease containment. |
| The fryers, griddle and walls behind the line are coated and a health inspection is coming | Commercial kitchen deep cleaning for the equipment and surfaces under the hood. |
| You need to know how often the law expects a cleaning | The NFPA 96 guide covers the published intervals and how the Ontario Fire Code uses them. |

The four commercial kitchen services, one paragraph each
Each service has its own page with the method, the cost and the questions people ask about it.
Hood Cleaning Services
Hood cleaning is the part of the job your cooks stand under. It covers the canopy, the grease filters and the enclosed space behind them, on a schedule set by what you cook. Most Sarnia kitchens start here.
Service detailsKitchen Exhaust Cleaning
Kitchen exhaust cleaning follows the grease past the hood, through the ceiling and up to the roof. It is the service that puts the hidden duct on your certificate, which matters most in older downtown buildings and shared plazas.
Service detailsExhaust Fan Repair and Installation
Exhaust fan repair and installation looks after the machine that pulls air through everything else. It includes repairs, full fan replacement, hinge kits, grease containment and new fans for new cooking lines, each quoted per job after a rooftop inspection.
Service detailsCommercial Kitchen Deep Cleaning
Commercial kitchen deep cleaning removes built-up grease from the cooking equipment, walls and floor under the hood. It is fire-prevention work for the line, often booked the same night as a hood visit or before a pre-opening inspection. It is not janitorial service.
Service detailsHood cleaning company in Sarnia: how the four services fit into one visit
A hood cleaning company earns its keep by sequencing the work so your kitchen is back in service before the morning shift.
On a combined night the work moves in one direction, from the top of the system down. The rooftop fan is opened first, so grease knocked loose in the duct has somewhere to go. The duct comes next, then the hood, then the cooking line. Deep cleaning goes last because grease falls. Cleaning the fryers before the hood would mean cleaning them twice.
You get one quote with each service on its own line. You can approve the hood and duct and leave the fan for later, or add deep cleaning ahead of a Lambton Public Health inspection. At the end you get one set of before-and-after photographs and one signed certificate that names what was done.
Where to find a commercial hood cleaning service near me in Sarnia
All four services run on the same route and the same price list from Grand Bend to Courtright.
What you book tends to follow your address. A pub in a mixed-use block on Front Street often needs the duct traced through the floors above it. A plaza unit on London Road or Exmouth Street may share a roof with three other tenants, so the fan and the containment tray come up at the walk-through. A clubhouse near Camlachie or a patio kitchen in Grand Bend books the hood and the line before the season opens. A plant cafeteria along the St. Clair River industrial corridor books around a turnaround. The full list of towns is on the areas served page, and the kitchen types are on the who we serve page.
Best hood cleaning company in Sarnia for a kitchen booking its first cleaning
A kitchen with no cleaning record should start with the widest scope once, then settle into the narrowest scope that stays clean.
If you took over a restaurant and found no certificate on file, you do not know what the last tenant left in the duct or on the fan. Book the hood, the duct and a fan inspection together on the first visit. The photographs then show you where the grease was sitting. On later visits you can drop to the hood alone on its normal schedule and add the duct only when the photographs say it needs it.
If you already hold a recent certificate that names the duct and fan, keep your interval. The NFPA 96 guide sets out the published intervals.
How much do commercial hood cleaning services cost in Sarnia in 2026?
Sarnia 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. Fan repair, solid-fuel cooking and deep cleaning are quoted per job after an inspection or walk-through.
The hood price is the base of the quote. Duct work adds to it based on what the walk-through finds. Fan work and deep cleaning are priced from what the technician sees on the roof and on the line. Because each service is a separate line, a landlord can see which items belong to the building and a tenant can see which belong to the kitchen. Proof of WSIB coverage and liability insurance reaches you before any work starts.
Next step: call 226-799-4732 or request a written quote. Tell us which row of the table above sounds like your kitchen, and the written quote follows within 24 hours of the walk-through.
Commercial hood cleaning services in Sarnia: frequently asked questions
Can I book only one of the four services?
Each of the four services can be booked on its own. Most kitchens book hood cleaning on a schedule and add the other three when the walk-through or the photographs show a need.
Is hood cleaning the same as kitchen exhaust cleaning?
Hood cleaning and kitchen exhaust cleaning are different scopes. Hood cleaning stops at the top of the canopy. Kitchen exhaust cleaning continues through the duct to the roof. Your certificate names only the sections that were cleaned.
Does deep cleaning include mopping floors and cleaning washrooms?
Commercial kitchen deep cleaning covers grease on the cooking line, the walls and ceiling around the hood and the floor under the equipment. It does not include general or office cleaning. Details are on the deep cleaning page.
Who approves roof work when I rent my space?
The landlord or property manager usually approves roof work, because the fan curb and roof membrane belong to the building. Your quote lists fan and containment items separately so the owner can sign off on them.
Can all four services happen overnight?
All four services can run overnight or between services in one visit, so your equipment is covered and your line closed only once.
