Who Inspects Thornton Kitchens

Thornton Fire Department

Thornton has its own city fire department. Its Fire Prevention Division is administered by the Fire Marshal and enforces the city’s fire and building codes, based on the International Fire Code with Thornton’s own amendments.

That code points to NFPA 96 for how often a commercial kitchen exhaust system has to be cleaned. The division says it works with businesses toward compliance, and how quickly a problem must be fixed depends on how serious it is.

What they look at
Whether the hood, ducts and fan are clean, and the date on the hood sticker.
What we leave you
A dated sticker on the hood and before and after photos of the hood, ducts and fan.
Next door
Westminster has its own city department. See our Westminster page.

Kitchens Across Thornton

Much of Thornton’s food is in shopping centers along 104th and 120th Avenues, Thornton Parkway and the I-25 corridor: drive-thrus, fast casual and family restaurants that fry and grill from morning to night. Those kitchens build grease fast, and the area around the building gets dirty fast too. We clean the hood system and pressure wash the dumpster pad and drive-thru lane on the same visit if you want.

New centers keep opening on the north side near E-470. When a new kitchen opens, the first cleaning sets the pattern. We’ll look at what you cook and suggest how often, so you’re on schedule before your first inspection comes around.

Thornton Hood Cleaning Questions

We just opened in Thornton. When is our first hood cleaning due?

It depends on what and how much you cook. NFPA 96 sets it: every 3 months for high volume, every 6 months for most restaurants. Tell us your menu and hours and we’ll suggest a schedule.

Does Thornton follow the same rules as Denver?

Both cities adopt the International Fire Code with their own local amendments, and both use NFPA 96 for exhaust cleaning frequency. The Thornton Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Division is who inspects you in Thornton.

Can you wash our dumpster pad and drive-thru lane the same night?

Yes. Ask for both in your quote and we’ll do the pressure washing on the same visit as the hood cleaning.
