Commercial Kitchen Extraction Systems in Kent

Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Specialists

A member of our extraction and ventilation team can visit your premises to assess and advise on the type of extraction needed.

If a new installation we can assist with:

• Support with local authorities and planning permissions - we can provide design and drawings only or provide full support by communicating directly with the planners and attending all site meetings. We will very often work with the your own consultants and architects.
• Background noise assessments compliant with any planning constraints outlined in BS4142/1997
• Design of new extraction and ventilation systems that are compliant with the current legal guidelines in document DW172 and BS4142/1997
• Reduction of control of exhaust odours in line with DEFRA guidance notes

If an existing installation we can assist with:

• Assessment of your current system and advice on its effectiveness and compliance
• Adaptation of your existing extraction system to make it compliant or suitable for new cooking equipment to be purchased.
• Canopy cleaning to TR19, which is probably a yearly requirement by your insurers and should be carried out to reduce fire risk

A commercial extraction system is a vital part of your commercial kitchen and often required by law, especially where the cooking equipment is gas or solid fuel. It is required to safely extract gasses, particles and heat from the kitchen atmosphere. Gasses (carbon monoxide, un-burned gas and steam) should be ducted to the outside and discharged in the correct position externally.

Particles (smoke and grease) are controlled by the use of the more traditional baffle grease filters or carbon filters and where required UV filters. Heat is removed from the commercial kitchen area by providing a number of air changes per hour and the provision of active or passive make-up air.
