What the work involves

Canopies need to overhang the cooking equipment, use grease filters suited to the cooking, and have access for cleaning. 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.

Extract fans and ductwork

Fans sized to the canopy, with access panels for cleaning.

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.
