A commercial kitchen is only as safe as its ventilation system. Grease buildup inside your hood, ducts, and exhaust fan is one of the leading causes of restaurant fires, and a direct violation of fire safety codes. At Nettoyage Imperial, we provide certified commercial kitchen hood cleaning in Montreal that protects your staff, your premises, and your operating licence. Every visit comes with an NFPA Certificate of Compliance, so your insurance is covered, and your kitchen is ready for inspection.
Grease doesn’t just collect on your stovetop; it travels. Every time your kitchen operates, grease-laden vapour rises through the hood and coats the interior of your ducts, fan, and exhaust system. Over time, that buildup becomes a serious fire hazard.
Beyond fire risk, a neglected hood system restricts airflow, traps heat and odours in the kitchen, and leaves stains on walls and ceilings that are difficult to reverse. Professional restaurant hood cleaning removes that buildup completely, from the filters down to the rooftop exhaust, keeping your ventilation system performing as it should and your kitchen compliant with fire safety standards.
At Nettoyage Imperial, our commercial kitchen hood cleaning service was built around one standard: doing the job completely, not just visibly. We clean from the rooftop down, using hot water heated to over 200°F (93°C) to cut through even the heaviest grease deposits. Our biodegradable degreasers are fully compliant with environmental regulations, effective on grease, safe for your kitchen and the environment.
Our restaurant hood cleaning experts are certified by the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), the organization that sets the fire safety codes and standards followed across North America. At the end of every visit, we issue you an official NFPA Certificate of Compliance to present to your insurance provider. We also offer optional weekly filter maintenance, so your commercial hood cleaning system stays clean between scheduled deep cleans.
Every commercial hood cleaning appointment follows a strict, structured procedure. Nothing is skipped; nothing is rushed. Here is exactly what our certified technicians do from the moment they arrive at your kitchen:
We begin with a full pre-inspection of the hood system and make-up air unit to assess the condition of every component. The surrounding area is then protected with single use polyane sheeting, and all nearby electrical outlets are shielded before any work begins. Fan motor nuts are lubricated and belts replaced if needed.
The commercial hood cleaning itself is performed using a 4,000-psi hot water pressure wash. Filters are degreased, and the extraction turbine, fan, extraction tube, and hood interior are all fully degreased and stripped. The exterior of the hood is degreased and polished to restore its original condition. Once cleaning is complete, the protective sheeting is removed and disposed of properly, clean filters are reinstalled, and an “After” photo is taken.
The NFPA, National Fire Protection Association, is the internationally recognized organization responsible for establishing fire safety codes and standards designed to reduce death, injury, and property loss from fire. For commercial kitchens, NFPA compliance isn’t optional: it’s a requirement that insurers, landlords, and municipal inspectors take seriously.
When you book our hood cleaning service, you receive an official certificate of compliance after every visit, proof that your commercial kitchen hood cleaning was carried out by certified professionals according to NFPA standards. This protects your insurance coverage, satisfies fire inspectors, and gives you documented evidence that your kitchen is operating safely.

We work with restaurants and bistros, hotel kitchens and banquet facilities, cafeterias and institutional kitchens, fast food and quick service operations, bars and nightclubs with kitchen service, catering companies, and food production facilities.

NFPA-Certified Technicians
Every technician performing our commercial kitchen hood cleaning is certified to NFPA standards. You receive a certificate of compliance at every visit, valid for insurance and inspection purposes.

25+ Years of Experience
Since 1995, Nettoyage Imperial has provided trusted commercial hood cleaning across Greater Montreal. Our experience spans every type of commercial kitchen, from small restaurant operations to large institutional facilities.
How often should I schedule a commercial hood cleaning?
The frequency of your restaurant hood cleaning depends on the volume and type of cooking in your kitchen. High-volume operations with heavy grease production, such as restaurants with fryers or grills, typically require cleaning every 1 to 3 months. Lower-volume kitchens may only need service every 6 to 12 months. Our team can assess your kitchen and recommend the right schedule.
What does your hood cleaning service include?
Our commercial kitchen hood cleaning covers the full system: hood interior and exterior, filters, extraction ducts, turbine, fan, and rooftop exhaust. We also include before-and-after photos, an NFPA Certificate of Compliance, and optional filter maintenance.
Do you provide an NFPA certificate after commercial hood cleaning?
Yes. At the end of every visit, we issue an official NFPA Certificate of Compliance to the designated manager on site. This certificate is valid for your insurance provider and confirms that the cleaning was performed to recognized fire safety standards.
Will restaurant hood cleaning disrupt my kitchen operations?
Not with us. Every commercial hood cleaning appointment is scheduled around your kitchen hours. We work early in the mornings, late nights, or on your day off, whatever causes the least disruption to your service.
Are your degreasers safe for a food environment?
Yes. Our commercial kitchen hood cleaning uses only biodegradable degreasers that are fully compliant with environmental regulations. They are effective on heavy commercial grease and safe for use in food service environments.
