Professional Kitchen Extraction Services for London Restaurants

Fitting a professional-grade kitchen extraction system in your restaurant is not just about clearing steam or odours. It's about meeting safety standards, meeting inspection criteria, and operating a professional kitchen efficiently.

In London and Greater London, commercial kitchens must be set up with professionally specified and engineered extraction systems that meet building and council regulations. Opening a new restaurant? Or modernising an old system? A bespoke extraction system is a critical investment.

Why Your London Restaurant Needs a Commercial Extraction System

An compliant kitchen extraction system ensures:

We deliver full-service solutions: from system design, supply and installation, to ongoing maintenance. Our restaurant extraction systems include canopy hoods, ductwork, fans, odour control units, gas interlock systems and make-up air provision.

What Makes Up a Restaurant Extraction System?

A commercial kitchen extraction system typically features:

Canopy Hoods

Remove fumes and vapours at the source of heat and steam.

Extraction Fans

Ensure proper airflow and extract greasy vapours.

Ductwork and Ventilation Ducts

Channel extracted air to the exterior of the building.

Odour Control Units

Advanced odour management components to minimise nuisance to neighbours.

Restaurant Ventilation System Design: for Your Kitchen

Each restaurant kitchen in Greater London is unique in terms of size, layout, workflow, appliance types, cooking methods and output. That's why bespoke ventilation system design is critical.

We conduct precise extraction assessments to ensure your system is suitable for your specific kitchen demands.

Local Knowledge, London-Wide Coverage

Greater London includes 32 boroughs and the City of London, each with its own planning departments, building regulations and environmental controls. That's why working with a team that knows those areas truly matters.

Tower Hamlets, Newham, Redbridge, Waltham Forest, and Barking and Dagenham. These areas feature fast-growing food businesses, often requiring space-saving extraction setups.

Fire Safety and Air Quality in Restaurant Kitchens

Good air quality is more than just having daily comfort. Greasy residue in extraction lines and restricted ventilation can create dangerous kitchen conditions.

Our systems are engineered to reduce risk, using components that meet fire safety and ventilation standards.

Extraction System Installation and Gas Interlock Systems

Our HVAC ventilation engineers are fully qualified to install systems that integrate gas interlock panels, which shut off the gas supply if extraction issues arise.

This is a required compliance step for many food businesses.
