London Hood Cleaning is a specialist in cleaning, inspecting, and maintaining commercial cooking equipment based on the guidelines established by NFPA 96. Our services transcend regular kitchen cleaning and include a deep cleaning of cooking surfaces, exhaust fans, and grease filters.

Commercial cooking equipment requires modern equipment for cleaning as it is prone to accumulating grease and other contaminants. For example, cleaning and inspecting the exhaust hood will need more than just a normal mop.

As for exhaust fans, ductwork, and kitchen equipment, the challenge is always reaching tight and hard-to-reach spaces. London Hood Cleaning is well equipped with the tools to properly clean these areas and do a detailed inspection of the equipment. In short, we’re up for it!

Call our team for a detailed estimate. Don’t worry – we’ll provide the highest quality services, and all your kitchen equipment will comply with NFPA 96 regulations.

The kitchen hood serves the most vital role in any commercial kitchen to ensure safety and compliance with NFPA 96. Kitchen hoods extract heat, steam, smoke, oil fumes, grease particles and other contaminants from the cooking environment.

The way they work makes them highly prone to catching fire and spreading smoke damage quickly throughout a building complex. In this regard, a kitchen hood must meet NFPA 96 standards and regulations to minimize the risk of fire outbreaks.

Because we’re well-acquainted with the rules promulgated by NFPA 96, London Hood Cleaning guarantees that all kitchen hoods in the London area comply with these standards. Call us ASAP, so we’ll tell you which aspect of your kitchen hood needs to be improved, and we’ll take care of the rest.

London Hood Cleaning also provides fire safety consulting services and can help you meet the minimum requirements for fire safety in commercial kitchens.

We’ll inspect all the hoods, filters, ductwork, exhaust fans and other equipment and see that they’re safe from potential fire hazards. If any discrepancies or problems arise during the inspection, we’ll offer honest advice to have them fixed.

NFPA 96 was initiated to reduce the inherent fire hazards that come naturally in any cooking operation on a commercial scale. So, we’re talking about restaurants, hospitals, nursing homes, school canteens, dormitories, prisons, etc.

The point of hiring a professional cleaning company is to see that every detail in the kitchen cleaning job is covered, from the hoods and filters to the duct fans and other equipment. Even the smallest details are important in NFPA 96 requirements. For example, the material used for the filters should withstand high temperatures and not easily catch fire.

London Hood Cleaning can help you meet NFPA 96 standards no matter how big or small your cooking operation is.

As per NFPA 96, the ideal hood cleaning frequency for commercial kitchen exhaust systems is six months, and within this time frame, all the hoods, filters, and ductwork must be cleaned in detail.

At London Hood Cleaning, we take this part of the job seriously and never neglect any corner. We’ll come to your place on time and, after an inspection, provide you with an accurate estimate for cleaning services that comply with NFPA 96 standards. The cleaning proceeds with the following steps:

1. Grease Removal – We remove the grease buildup from your hoods, filters, ductwork, fans and other kitchen equipment.

2. Deep Cleaning – All the surfaces are cleaned with certain chemicals (if needed) and left to dry for a few hours.

3. Final Touch – When the cleaning is complete, our team makes a final inspection to ensure all surfaces are free from grease or dirt. No residue should be left on any of the surfaces.
