The system size, grease load, access, operating schedule, and documentation needs that influence a provider quote.
Use this guide to organize observations and questions before contacting a provider. It is not a diagnosis or a fixed scope of work. Conditions at the location, equipment specifications, safety requirements, local rules, and the provider's inspection can all change the appropriate next step.
System size and condition
Providers need the hood count and length, fan count, duct configuration, cooking operation, and current grease condition to estimate labor.
- Number and length of hood systems
- Fans, duct runs, access panels, and roof height
- Time since prior cleaning and current buildup
Write down what you can verify without taking an unsafe action or disassembling equipment. If a detail is unknown, say that directly. A provider can then decide what must be inspected on site and what information can be confirmed before travel or scheduling.
Access and scheduling
Closed-kitchen work, roof access, security, equipment protection, and overnight windows can affect crew time and mobilization.
- Operating hours and shutdown window
- Roof hatch, ladder, lift, gate, and escort access
- Parking, loading, water, drainage, and electrical arrangements
Write down what you can verify without taking an unsafe action or disassembling equipment. If a detail is unknown, say that directly. A provider can then decide what must be inspected on site and what information can be confirmed before travel or scheduling.
Scope and reporting
A quote should state which components are included, what cannot be reached, how the kitchen is protected, and what documentation follows the work.
- Filter service and kitchen-surface boundaries
- Grease containment and rooftop cleanup
- Photos, service reports, deficiencies, and follow-up work
