THE CANOPY FIRE RISK YOU CAN'T IGNORE
Your kitchen canopy is the first line of defence against fire.
The Real Risks of Neglected Canopy Cleaning
Fire Hazard - The Primary Threat
Grease-laden canopies can ignite in seconds during peak service. Once lit, fire spreads rapidly through the entire exhaust system, often reaching the roof before suppression systems activate.
Health Inspector Red Flags
Your canopy is the first thing inspectors check. Visible grease buildup = immediate violation, failed inspection, and potential closure until rectified.
Fire Hazard - The Primary Threat
Grease-laden canopies can ignite in seconds during peak service. Once lit, fire spreads rapidly through the entire exhaust system, often reaching the roof before suppression systems activate.
Grease-saturated canopies create poor ventilation, exposing staff to smoke, heat, and potential flash fire injuries.
Our canopy cleaning reduces these risks - helping to protecting your people, property, and business operations.

What We Protect you from
See the Fire Hazard Hiding in Your Canopy
BEFORE: The Hidden Danger
This is what fire inspectors see - and what ignites in seconds during peak service. Grease this thick doesn't just violate health codes, it's a ticking time bomb waiting for the right temperature to ignite.
Most kitchen staff never see this buildup because it accumulates on top of the canopy, inside filters, and in hidden plenum spaces. But it's there - and it's dangerous.
AFTER: Fire-Safe & Compliant
This is what a fire-safe canopy looks like. Every trace of flammable grease removed from filters, baffles, interior surfaces, and collection points. Your kitchen is protected, your staff is safe, and you have documentation proving compliance.
This isn't just cleaning - it's fire prevention that protects everything you've built.
