Commercial Kitchen Hood & Vent Cleaning in Metro Vancouver
We serve restaurants, hotels, arenas, healthcare facilities, food processing plants, and institutional kitchens across Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond, North Vancouver, Coquitlam, and Surrey. Total Commercial Exhaust services cover every component of your kitchen’s ventilation system.
A Dedicated Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Specialist You Can Rely On
Many facility operators hire general duct cleaning companies for kitchen exhaust work, only to discover those crews lack NFPA 96 expertise and cannot produce fire marshal-ready certification tags. The result is a failed inspection, a lapsed insurance policy, or worse. TCS Commercial Exhaust Cleaning Inc. is a dedicated commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning company, not a general ventilation contractor. Every service we perform follows NFPA 96 standards, and every completed job includes an official tamper-evident inspection tag affixed directly to your hood. That tag is your documented proof of compliance for fire marshals, health authorities, and commercial property insurers. When your facility’s fire safety record depends on the crew doing the work, the distinction between a general cleaner and a focused exhaust specialist is the difference between a passed inspection and a citation.
- Official NFPA 96 inspection tags and compliance certificates issued after every service for fire marshals, health authorities, and insurers
- Complete bare-metal degreasing of the entire exhaust network, from stainless steel canopy hoods through all ductwork to rooftop fans
- Enterprise digital reporting with comprehensive before-and-after photo audits delivered after each visit
- Flexible overnight and split-shift service windows scheduled around your kitchen’s operating hours to prevent operational disruption
- Emergency services available 24/7 for urgent compliance or fire safety situations

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning
Why is scheduled commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning important for fire safety?
Grease, smoke and cooking vapours can accumulate throughout a commercial kitchen exhaust system over time. Routine cleaning helps reduce combustible grease buildup, supports safer kitchen operations, and helps businesses maintain their exhaust systems in accordance with applicable cleaning requirements.
What is included in a complete NFPA 96 exhaust cleaning service?
A complete service goes beyond cleaning the visible kitchen hood. Total Commercial Exhaust cleans the exhaust system from hood to fan, including the canopy hood, baffle filters, accessible vertical and horizontal ductwork, and rooftop upblast fan. This helps address grease buildup throughout the ventilation path rather than only in the areas you can easily see.
What documentation do I receive after an exhaust cleaning service?
Every completed service includes an official tamper-evident NFPA 96 inspection tag affixed directly to your hood, a compliance certificate, and a comprehensive before-and-after digital photo audit. These documents support your facility’s records for fire marshal inspections, health authority reviews, and commercial property insurance requirements.
Can exhaust cleaning be scheduled outside of kitchen operating hours?
Yes. Total Commercial Exhaust offers flexible overnight and split-shift service windows designed to work around your kitchen’s schedule. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and emergency services are available 24/7. We coordinate directly with your operations team to minimize disruption.
What areas does Total Commercial Exhaust serve?
