What clients say
Reviews from before our rebrand mention our former name, Pressure Boyz.
“They will not disappoint!”
Pressure Boyz came on to my radar while looking for a new company to perform commercial kitchen hood cleaning at several of our centers. I engaged Tony and Filip and we met to discuss needs. They were very professional and knowledgeable about their trade, listening to our needs and providing insight, suggestions, and information surrounding legislation and best practices for hood cleaning, making deciding to hire them to take care of our commercial kitchen needs easy. They have not disappointed, providing professional, effective, and efficient service for our varied locations. Communication before and after a job is professional and informative, providing follow up information regarding any needs or concerns they may find outside of their scope of work for the units they are servicing. We are extremely happy with their services and am happy to recommend them to others. They will not disappoint!
What we do
Hood to roof. Nothing skipped.
A clean hood is only half the job. Grease travels through the filters, up the ductwork and out the rooftop fan. We look after the whole exhaust system, not just the part your customers can see.
Status01Exhaust service
Inspection, maintenance and cleaning of hoods, ductwork and exhaust fans, so the system keeps proper airflow and grease never gets a foothold.
Status02Fire prevention
Grease in an exhaust system is fuel. Regular inspection and cleaning keeps combustible buildup under control and your kitchen compliant.
Status03Cleaning service
Deep cleaning of grease, dirt and buildup from exhaust equipment and every hard-to-reach spot, for a cleaner, more hygienic kitchen.
What's included
Hood canopies
Inside and out, every surface of the canopy is degreased and brought back to bare, shining stainless.
Baffle filters
Filters are pulled, degreased and pressure-washed so they can actually catch grease again.
Exhaust ductwork
Accessible duct runs are scraped and washed, removing the hidden grease that feeds kitchen fires.
Rooftop exhaust fans
Fan wheel, bowl and housing are degreased on the roof, so air moves the way it was designed to.
Clear follow-up
You hear from us before and after every job, including anything we spot outside our scope.
Scheduled maintenance
Recurring cleanings set to your kitchen's cooking volume, so you never have to think about it.

FAQ
Questions? Answered.
The things kitchen managers ask us most. Don't see yours? Just call.
How often does my hood need to be cleaned?
It depends on how hard your kitchen works. Under NFPA 96, kitchens cooking with solid fuel are checked monthly, high-volume kitchens (24-hour, charbroiling, woks) every 3 months, most restaurants and cafeterias every 6 months, and low-volume kitchens once a year. We'll recommend a schedule that fits your kitchen.
Is hood cleaning actually required?
Yes. Ontario's Fire Code requires commercial cooking exhaust systems to be maintained to NFPA 96, and fire inspectors and insurers expect them to be kept free of grease buildup. Beyond the rules, grease in the hood and ducts is fuel for a kitchen fire.
Do we have to close the kitchen?
No. We're available 24 hours Monday to Friday, and on call Saturdays, so we can clean after close, overnight or before you open. Your kitchen is ready for service when we leave.
What's included in a cleaning?
The whole exhaust system, not just the part you can see: the hood canopy, baffle filters, accessible ductwork and the rooftop exhaust fan. We'll walk you through the scope when we quote.
Are you certified and insured?
Yes. Alpha Guard is certified and fully insured, and we work with private businesses as well as government clients like the City of Kitchener.
What areas do you serve?
We serve commercial kitchens across Ontario. Call or send a quote request with your location and we'll let you know when we can get there.
