About Cambridge Hood Cleaning
Cambridge Hood Cleaning is a commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning service for Cambridge, Ayr and Paris, built on one promise: one number, one crew, one certificate. The number is 226-917-4064. The crew is Power Hoods Systems, the operating company that performs every walk-through, every overnight visit and every rooftop fan check. The certificate is a signed health and safety document that references the published NFPA 96 standard and arrives with before-and-after photographs of every surface the crew cleaned. This page explains how the arrangement works, what the paperwork says, and what a kitchen manager can expect from the first call onward.
How the business works
One front door, one operating crew, one document for every reader.
Cambridge Hood Cleaning is the front door. Calls to 226-917-4064 and submissions from the quote form land in one schedule. Every job in Galt, Preston, Hespeler, Blair, Ayr and Paris is booked from it, whether the caller is a franchise district manager with six units on Hespeler Road or a church board member in Preston with one hood.
The cleaning is performed by Power Hoods Systems, the operating crew. Power Hoods Systems supplies the technicians, the equipment, the walk-through and the certificate. That is stated here in plain terms because a kitchen manager deserves to know whose crew is in the kitchen at two in the morning. Ask on the call and the answer is the same every time.
One certificate means the same document for every reader. A fire inspector, an insurer, a franchise head office, a retirement home operator and a food plant auditor all receive the same signed certificate and the same photographs. No kitchen gets a lighter version because it is small, and no kitchen gets a heavier one because it is a chain.
Scheduling is overnight and between services, so a Water Street dining room is never dark during dinner and a long-term care kitchen is never dark at breakfast. Pricing is published, not hidden, and the starting figures are near the foot of this page.
The documentation standard
Three things arrive with every job. None of them is optional and none of them costs extra.
Before-and-after photographs of every cleaned surface. A clean canopy face proves nothing, because line staff wipe it every night. Paired photographs of the plenum, the filter slots, the duct interior and the fan housing prove the filters came out and someone went in behind them. The photographs arrive with the certificate, and a franchise office or an insurer can file them without asking.
A signed health and safety certificate. The certificate references the published NFPA 96 standard and records the date and the sections cleaned. Cambridge Hood Cleaning and its operating crew reference the published NFPA 96 standard and are not affiliated with NFPA. What the certificate does and does not assert, and what a fire inspector looks for in it, is on the NFPA 96 guide.
Proof of WSIB coverage and liability insurance before work starts. The proof goes over with the quote, not after the visit. A plaza property manager on Pinebush Road or a facilities lead at a retirement home should never have to ask for it at the door.
What to expect from a visit
The outline is the same for a Galt dining room, a Hespeler Road franchise unit and a food plant off Franklin Boulevard.
Before the night. The first call covers the line, the canopy count and the hours the kitchen is dark. A free walk-through follows, and the technician names anything that cannot be reached before it becomes a surprise. The written quote is back within 24 hours with the scope, the price and any item that needs separate approval. The contact page lists what to have ready for the call.
The night. The crew arrives when the last cook leaves or in the gap between services. Equipment and floors are covered before any product is opened. The work runs from the canopy up to the fan, and each surface is photographed before and after. On a franchise route night the crew moves unit to unit along the strip and each unit gets its own photo set.
After. The photographs and the signed certificate follow the visit by email. Keep both together. A fire inspector, an insurer, a franchise office or a board can ask for them at any time, and the next visit is planned from what the photographs show. The step-by-step list is on the home page; the four services are on the services page.
One number, one crew, one certificate
The promise in three parts, and why each part matters in this city.
One number. A restaurant owner in Galt, a district manager covering Hespeler Road and a caterer in Paris all call 226-917-4064. There is no separate line for chains, no separate line for small kitchens, and no call centre in between.
One crew. Power Hoods Systems does the walk-through, the cleaning, the fan work and the photographs. The technician who quoted the system is on the same team as the technician who cleans it, so nothing promised on the walk-through gets lost on the night.
One certificate. The same signed document, referencing the published NFPA 96 standard, for every kitchen in Cambridge, Ayr and Paris. It goes to you, and on request to your landlord, your insurer or your head office. The communities inside the coverage line are on the areas served page; the kinds of kitchen the crew serves are on the who we serve page.
How much does hood cleaning cost in Cambridge in 2026?
Cambridge Hood Cleaning prices a single-hood kitchen up to ten feet from $585 per visit and a multi-hood kitchen of two to four canopies from $995 per visit, with larger systems quoted on site after a free walk-through and a written quote back within 24 hours.
Fan repair and deep cleaning of the cooking line are quoted per job after inspection or walk-through. The four services, and a table that matches a symptom to the right page, are on the services page.
Next step: call 226-917-4064 or request a written quote. Say what the line cooks, how many canopies it has and when the kitchen is dark. That is enough to book the walk-through.
About Cambridge Hood Cleaning: frequently asked questions
Who shows up to clean the hood?
Power Hoods Systems, the operating crew. Cambridge Hood Cleaning is the name on the phone and the quote form, and Power Hoods Systems supplies the technicians, the equipment, the walk-through and the certificate. The arrangement is the same on every job in Cambridge, Ayr and Paris.
Why is there no founding year, crew count or star rating on this page?
Because every claim on this page should be one you can check. Years in business, truck counts and review totals are the figures most often inflated in this trade, so this page carries none of them. What it carries instead is the published price, the documentation standard and a phone number that gets answered.
Are there customer names or testimonials?
No. Kitchens across Cambridge, Ayr and Paris have used this service, including franchise units, downtown restaurants, a retirement residence, a legion branch, a church, a food plant and a food truck, and none is named because none has given permission. Describing the segment is honest. Printing a name without asking is not.
Does the insurance proof arrive before or after the visit?
Before. Proof of WSIB coverage and liability insurance is sent with the written quote so the contractor file at a plant, a retirement home or a property management office is complete before the crew is on site. Nobody should have to ask for it at the door.
Does the kitchen have to close for the visit?
No. Scheduling is overnight and between services. The crew arrives when the last cook leaves or in the gap between lunch and dinner service, and it is gone before the first prep cook is in. A long-term care kitchen that cannot go dark for a day is worked in the gap between dinner clean-down and breakfast.
