SCOPE
Name every connected component
The proposal should identify each hood, plenum, duct route and fan, plus filters, protection, cleanup and records.
- Hood canopy and plenum
- Accessible horizontal and vertical duct
- Rooftop or wall fan
- Grease containment and roof protection
- Service label and photo report
ACCESS
Verify the roof and duct before arrival
Unhinged fans, damaged wiring, missing access panels and difficult roof routes can limit safe cleaning or require separate correction work.
CLOSEOUT
Make the report location-specific
Generic photos are weak evidence. Ask for images and notes tied to recognizable systems and access points.
FAQ
Operational questions
Are filters included?
Often, but filter cleaning, exchange or replacement should be explicit in the written scope.
Can staff remain in the kitchen?
The affected cooking line normally must be shut down, cool and cleared for protection and safe access.
