Get a free written hood cleaning quote
Ottawa Hood Cleaning quotes every commercial kitchen in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario the same way: a short conversation about the kitchen, a free walk-through if the system needs one, and a written quote back within 24 hours. Describe the cooking line, the hood if you know its size, and the window you want the crew in. Or skip the typing and call.

Coverage
The full City of Ottawa: the ByWard Market, Centretown, Elgin, Preston, Somerset, Hintonburg, Westboro and the Glebe downtown; Vanier, Beacon Hill, Orleans and Cumberland east; Nepean, Bells Corners, Kanata, Stittsville, Barrhaven and Riverside South west and south; and the rural villages inside the city line, from Manotick and Greely to Carp, Richmond, Osgoode and North Gower. Route days reach Kemptville, Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Arnprior, and Rockland.
What happens after you reach out
Ottawa Hood Cleaning starts every quote the same way: a short call to pin down the kitchen. Canopy count, hood length, cooking type, and how the duct gets to the roof. A straightforward single-hood restaurant can usually be quoted from that call alone. Hotel and conference lines, campus dining halls, and heritage units with long or shared risers get a free walk-through instead, booked during your quiet hours so nobody quotes your kitchen from guesswork.
Within 24 hours of that conversation, the written quote arrives. It lists the price, every surface in scope, and the documents bundled with the visit: the signed health and safety certificate referencing NFPA 96, the before-and-after photo report, and proof of WSIB and liability coverage delivered before work starts. The quote number and the invoice number are the same number.
Scheduling wraps around your operation, not ours. Restaurants book overnight after last service. Hotel and conference kitchens book between events, campus serveries go in reading week or over the summer term, and rooftop work is pulled forward of freeze-up wherever the fan will be buried by January. The line is tarped before chemicals open, and the kitchen hands back food-ready.
Who calls us
Independent restaurants from the ByWard Market to Westboro, the charcoal shawarma and Preston Street wood-fired lines that sit on monthly intervals, franchise kitchens facing quarterly brand audits, hotel and conference kitchens downtown, campus and institutional serveries, and property managers coordinating shared-riser buildings in Lowertown and along Bank Street. Operators in Kemptville, Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Arnprior, and Rockland book against scheduled route days, which keeps travel charges off the quote. If Ottawa Fire Services has already left a notice, lead with that; compliance deadlines jump the queue.
Why every quote is written
A price given verbally protects nobody on either side of it. The written quote from Ottawa Hood Cleaning names the canopy count, the surfaces in scope (hood, plenum, filters, duct run, fan), the price, and the paperwork included, referencing the published NFPA 96 standard. When the invoice arrives it matches the quote, and when the inspector arrives the certificate matches the work. Ask any company bidding on your kitchen for the same list in writing. The ones who dodge the request are usually the ones who polish the hood and skip the duct.
Contacting us: frequently asked questions
How quickly do you respond to a quote request?
Every form submission gets a response within 24 hours, most the same business day, and the written quote follows the first conversation. Anything with an inspection order or insurance deadline attached is handled same-day. The phone, 613-707-0313, is always faster than the form.
Do I need hood measurements before I contact you?
No. Describing the kitchen is enough to start: how many cooking stations, what kind of cooking, roughly how the exhaust runs. Hood length speeds things up if you have it, and anything beyond a straightforward single hood gets a free walk-through where the measuring happens.
Is the quote free and does it commit me to anything?
The quote is free, the walk-through behind it is free, and neither commits you to anything. The written document states the full scope and the price, work is booked only after you accept it, and the invoice matches it.
Can a property manager or multi-kitchen operator get quotes for several kitchens at once?
Yes. Shared-riser buildings, hotels and campuses with more than one kitchen, and multi-location operators get per-kitchen quotes on one coordinated schedule, individual certificates per unit, and consolidated reporting. The certificate of insurance can name the property manager or landlord as additional insured, which heritage-building landlords in the Market routinely ask for.
What if the fire department gave me a deadline?
Call 613-707-0313 and say so up front. Compliance orders with deadlines and pre-opening cleanings for new tenants are the most common urgent jobs, and both usually get scheduled within days. Bring the inspection notice to the call; matching the cleaning scope to what the order lists is what closes it out.
