Commercial kitchen problems we take care of in Bolingbrook
Whether you are building out a new restaurant in Bolingbrook, keeping a busy line open or answering a notice from the village, the work usually comes down to the hood, the exhaust duct and the grease trap. We do all three and schedule around your service hours.
Hood or duct written up by the fire marshal
If the fire department flagged the hood or duct, we sort out which items need construction and which need cleaning.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →Taking over a second-generation space
Before you sign or open, we can look at the existing hood, duct, fan and grease trap and list what needs upgrading.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →Insurer or landlord wants cleaning records
If you need a cleaning history for a renewal or a lease, we give you dated reports after every visit.
Commercial Hood Cleaning →Opening a new restaurant
A new food establishment needs an approved hood system over grease-producing equipment and grease treatment on its drains before it can open. We plan, permit and install both.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →School, church or daycare kitchen
A school or church kitchen that starts cooking full meals may need a different hood. We check the equipment against the current setup.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →Adding fryers, grills or a new cook line
A menu change that adds a fryer or charbroiler can put equipment outside the hood or past what the fan can handle. We check coverage and airflow before it goes in.

Commercial Kitchen Projects questions from Bolingbrook businesses
Do I need permits for hood or grease trap work?
New or replaced hoods need a mechanical permit and fire review; new grease traps usually need a plumbing permit. Cleaning doesn't need a permit.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
We set the interval from what we find inside the trap, within whatever your local authority requires.
What does commercial kitchen work cost?
We don't quote blind. The equipment, the building and the scope set the price, and you get it in writing.
How often should the hood be cleaned?
It depends on your cooking: busy fryer and grill lines are cleaned often, lighter kitchens less. We recommend a schedule after seeing the system.
Can you work outside our business hours?
Yes. Cleaning and trap service are routinely done after closing, and installation is staged to keep downtime short.
What is the Bolingbrook building department phone number?
Permits go through Building Division (Community Development), Village of Bolingbrook, phone (630) 226-8470. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Bolingbrook contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
The Village has a Contractor Registration form on its permit portal. We take care of that before work starts.
What are Bolingbrook's grease trap rules?
Village Public Works (Wastewater); household FOG guidance and a FOG Guide on the sanitary sewer page. We size and service interceptors to meet them.
Who inspects kitchen hoods and fire safety in Bolingbrook?
Fire Prevention Bureau, 630/226-8540, 375 W Briarcliff Rd. We schedule the inspection and have the paperwork ready.
