Commercial kitchen extraction in Cheshire

Kitchen extraction in Cheshire starts with a survey of the cooking line and the discharge route.

Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Cheshire, from Runcorn, Macclesfield, Northwich, Warrington and Chester. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

How we do it

Where gas appliances are used, the gas supply is normally interlocked with the ventilation so cooking cannot run without extract, as BS 6173 sets out. Planning conditions often require odour control and limits on noise at the discharge. We fit out new restaurants, cafés, takeaways and staff canteens, and replace or extend extract when menus or equipment change.

Make-up air

Tempered fresh air to replace what is extracted.

Odour control and interlocks

Carbon filters or other odour control to meet planning, and gas interlock systems.

Wall and island canopies

Stainless steel canopies with baffle grease filters and lighting.

Make-up air is fresh air brought back into the kitchen to replace what the canopy extracts, so doors do not slam and gas appliances burn properly.
