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.
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.

Questions about commercial kitchen extraction in the Forth Valley

A new external flue or discharge often needs planning permission, and conditions commonly cover odour control and noise. We can supply technical details for your application.
What is make-up air?
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.
