Kitchen Hood Cleaning Dubai

Our technicians clean the full exhaust pathway: hood canopy exterior and interior, grease baffles and filters, all accessible ductwork sections, the exhaust fan housing, fan blades, and drive belt or motor. Grease traps can be coordinated in the same visit. Everything is documented with before-and-after photographs in the compliance report.

Yes. Make My Restaurant issues a signed NFPA 96 compliance certificate with photographic evidence after every clean. This format is the standard required for Dubai Civil Defence fire safety inspections and is accepted by UAE commercial kitchen insurers as proof of scheduled maintenance. Verbal or informal assurances are not accepted by regulators.

Yes. We offer off-hours scheduling including late-night and early-morning slots across all emirates. Most standard restaurant hood and duct cleans are completed within two to four hours by a two-person crew, so your kitchen reopens in time for the next service without any loss of trading hours or the need for a temporary closure.

A standard single-hood NFPA 96 clean in Dubai typically starts from AED 750 to AED 1,470, rising to AED 2,200 or more for large island hoods or complex multi-section ductwork. High-rise rooftop fan access, long duct runs, and heavy grease loads increase the cost. Annual AMC pricing reduces the per-visit rate. Call +971 58 570 7110 for a site quote.

NFPA 96 is the US National Fire Protection Association standard for ventilation control and fire protection in commercial cooking operations. Dubai Civil Defence adopted it -- alongside UAE Technical Guideline TG-19 -- as the benchmark for kitchen exhaust fire safety. Compliance is mandatory for food-trade licence renewal and is verified by Civil Defence inspectors who request the signed cleaning certificate.

Dubai Civil Defence can issue a formal non-compliance notice, impose fines, suspend your fire-safety certificate, or recommend closure of your premises until deficiencies are corrected. A lapsed or missing NFPA 96 cleaning certificate is one of the most common triggers for inspection failure, as it also invalidates many commercial kitchen insurance policies in the UAE.

Yes. UAE commercial kitchen insurers require a valid NFPA 96 cleaning certificate as evidence of scheduled maintenance. If a grease fire occurs and you cannot produce a current certificate, your insurer may reduce or void the claim. Make My Restaurant issues a photographic compliance certificate after every clean specifically to satisfy both Civil Defence and insurance-audit requirements.

Most standard restaurant kitchens with a single hood system take two to four hours with a two-person crew. Large hotels, central kitchens, or multi-hood QSR setups may require four to eight hours. We schedule off-hours and early-morning slots across all emirates so the clean finishes before your kitchen reopens, with no impact on trading hours.

Yes. Our service covers the full exhaust pathway -- from hood canopy interior and baffles to all accessible duct sections and the rooftop exhaust fan housing, blades, and motor. The rooftop component is included in the standard scope because NFPA 96 compliance requires the entire system to be grease-free, not just the hood face. Rooftop access is confirmed during booking.

Yes. Make My Restaurant offers combined hood and grease trap cleaning in a single coordinated visit for eligible sites. Combining services reduces total downtime and is often more cost-effective than scheduling separate contractors. Both services are documented in the same visit record, giving you a single compliance report covering your full exhaust and drainage system.

We use food-safe alkaline foam degreasers approved for commercial kitchen use, followed by a high-pressure hot-steam rinse that drives grease to bare metal without leaving chemical residue. Cooking equipment and prep surfaces are covered with protective sheeting before any chemical is applied. No hazardous solvents or chlorinated compounds are used near food contact zones.
