Kitchen compliance for Markham restaurants.
NFPA 96 hood cleaning and grease-trap compliance, sized to your kitchen's actual volume and covered under one contract.
One point of contact across the GTA.
Operators running a kitchen in Markham alongside other GTA locations end up coordinating compliance vendors city by city, sometimes by-law by by-law. Northfire works across the GTA under one point of contact, so a Markham kitchen and a location elsewhere in the region can run on the same documented schedule instead of separate ones.
NFPA 96
Adopted into the Ontario Fire Code in 2025, NFPA 96 governs cleaning of your hood, canopy, ducts, and rooftop fan the same way in Markham as everywhere else in the province. Required frequency runs monthly for 24-hour, high-heat kitchens down to annually for low-volume, seasonal ones.
Your municipal sewer by-law
Grease interceptors answer to Markham's own sewer use by-law, a separate rule from Toronto's. Requirements and fine exposure vary by municipality: we confirm exactly what applies to your address during the walkthrough, and keep a compliance log on file either way.
