Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning In Scarborough
Scarborough’s restaurant industry is one of the busiest and most diverse in Ontario. From independent family restaurants and food courts to banquet halls, healthcare facilities, schools, hotels, and institutional kitchens, ventilation systems across the area face heavy daily demands.
Complete Kitchen Exhaust provides professional commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning services throughout Scarborough with a focus on thorough workmanship, clear reporting, and long-term system maintenance. Since 2013, we have helped businesses reduce grease accumulation, improve system performance, and maintain compliance with applicable fire and insurance requirements.
Our team documents system conditions before work begins, identifies deficiencies when present, and provides before and after photographs so clients know exactly what was cleaned and what may require future attention.
Businesses throughout Scarborough trust Complete Kitchen Exhaust because we focus on the entire system rather than only the visible portions of the hood.
Commercial kitchen exhaust systems contain multiple components that work together to remove heat, smoke, grease vapours, and cooking by-products from the kitchen environment.
Cleaning only visible surfaces can leave significant grease deposits hidden within ductwork, fan assemblies, and rooftop discharge points.
Our technicians clean accessible grease-laden components throughout the system including:
- Exhaust hoods
- Baffle filters
- Grease troughs and collection areas
- Horizontal ductwork
- Vertical risers & ductwork
- Rooftop exhaust fans
- Pollution control units
- Ecology units
Accessible areas are cleaned to bare metal standards wherever possible in accordance with NFPA 96 cleaning practices.
Some kitchen exhaust systems require considerably more than routine maintenance.
Years of neglected grease accumulation, improper cleaning methods, or inaccessible duct configurations can create conditions that require restoration work before regular maintenance intervals can resume.
Complete Kitchen Exhaust specializes in grease duct restoration using hot water pressure washing, mechanical agitation, commercial degreasers, and manual grease removal techniques where necessary.
Where accessibility limitations exist, recommendations for additional fire-rated access panels may be installed to allow access for restoration, cleaning & to improve future cleaning, maintenance and inspection access.
Access for inspection, cleaning, and maintenance is one of the most important factors in maintaining a safe and compliant commercial kitchen exhaust system.
When sections of grease ductwork cannot be safely reached for cleaning or inspection, additional fire-rated access panels may be required to provide proper access to the system.
Without adequate access, grease deposits can remain hidden inside ductwork and inaccessible sections of the exhaust system, increasing fire risk and making it impossible to fully clean the system in accordance with NFPA 96 guidelines.
Many companies simply classify these areas as inaccessible and move on. At Complete Kitchen Exhaust, we document these limitations, explain their significance, and provide practical recommendations to improve long-term system maintenance and inspection accessibility.
We provide both flat and curved fire-rated access panel installations designed to maintain the fire-resistance rating of the duct system while improving access for future cleaning and inspections.
Where accessibility deficiencies are identified, we provide detailed reporting and recommendations so building owners and operators can make informed decisions regarding corrective action and ongoing maintenance planning.
Proper access today helps reduce maintenance costs, improve cleaning effectiveness, and support long-term compliance with fire and insurance requirements.

PCU (Pollution Control Units or Ecology Units) Cleaning & Maintenance
Many commercial facilities throughout Scarborough utilize Pollution Control Units (PCUs) or Ecology Units to reduce grease emissions, smoke, and odours before exhaust air is discharged to the atmosphere.
These systems often contain multiple filtration stages that require periodic maintenance to remain effective.
Complete Kitchen Exhaust provides servicing for accessible internal components as well as replacement of applicable filters where required.
As commercial kitchens evolve, ventilation systems often require modifications to accommodate equipment changes, layout changes, or operational requirements.
Complete Kitchen Exhaust provides support for:
- Exhaust system alterations
- Duct modifications
- Exhaust fan replacements
- Exhaust hood replacements
- Hinge kit installations
- Restraint installations
- Welding repairs
