Commercial kitchen extraction in Dorset

For Dorset restaurants, extraction is usually planned alongside the gas works and planning conditions.

Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Dorset, from Weymouth, Christchurch, Ferndown, Dorchester and Wimborne Minster. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

How we do it

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.

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.

Extract fans and ductwork

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