Kitchen compliance for Oakville restaurants.
NFPA 96 hood cleaning and grease-trap compliance, sized to your kitchen's actual volume and covered under one contract.
A clean inspection isn't a standing pass.
A clean inspection today doesn't change what NFPA 96 and Oakville's own sewer use by-law require between now and the next one. Hood cleaning and grease-trap pumping stay due on their own schedules regardless of how the last inspection went. Northfire tracks both and hands you the documentation, not just the service.
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 Oakville 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 Oakville'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.
