Restaurant Ventilation System Design & Installation London

Installing a well-functioning kitchen extraction system in your restaurant is not just about removing steam or odours. It's about adhering to safety standards, meeting inspection criteria, and operating a professional kitchen efficiently.

In the London region, commercial kitchens must be set up with professionally specified and installed extraction systems that meet building and council regulations. Planning to open a new food business? Or perhaps upgrading your existing setup? A bespoke extraction system is a vital investment.

Why Your London Restaurant Needs a Commercial Extraction System

An compliant kitchen extraction system ensures:

We provide full-service solutions: from consultancy, equipment sourcing and fitting, to regular servicing and support. Our restaurant extraction systems come with canopy hoods, ductwork, fans, odour control units, gas interlock systems and make-up air provision.

Main Parts of a Kitchen Ventilation and Extraction System

A commercial kitchen extraction system typically includes:

Canopy Hoods

Capture fumes and vapours directly from cooking appliances.

Extraction Fans

Drive airflow and help remove grease-laden air efficiently.

Ductwork and Ventilation Ducts

Carry fumes outside safely.

Odour Control Units

Filtration systems such as carbon, UV and ozone units to minimise nuisance to neighbours.

Designing a Commercial Kitchen Ventilation System That Works

Each restaurant kitchen in the capital differs in size, layout, workflow, equipment setup, cooking methods and output. That's why bespoke ventilation system design is essential.

We carry out airflow calculations to ensure your system is suitable for your specific kitchen demands.

Full Coverage Across All London Boroughs

Greater London includes 32 boroughs and the City of London, each with its own planning departments, building regulations and environmental controls. That's why local knowledge makes a difference when installing compliant systems.

Air Quality, Grease Control & Fire Safety Compliance

Clean air isn't only about comfort—it's a safety priority. Greasy residue in extraction lines and poor airflow contribute to fire hazards.

Our systems are designed for safety and compliance, using fire-rated ductwork and compliant filters.

Installing Extraction with Gas Interlock Protection

Our HVAC ventilation engineers are trained and certified to install systems that include gas interlock panels, which automatically cut off gas flow if the ventilation system fails.

This is a mandatory safety measure under UK kitchen regulations.
