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 Leicestershire

Are prices different in Leicestershire?

Our guide prices are adjusted by region. In Leicestershire we use East Midlands rates, so kitchen canopy and extract system for a café or takeaway (canopy up to 2 m) is typically £5,850 to £11,700 + VAT per kitchen.

Do I need planning permission for kitchen extraction?

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.

Is the survey free in Leicestershire?

For new installations on the UK mainland, yes. The survey is free and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing. Servicing, testing and repair visits are charged, and we confirm the cost before booking.

Which rules apply to ventilation in Leicestershire?

In England, ventilation in new and altered homes is covered by Approved Document F of the Building Regulations. Landlords also have duties under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, and workplaces must be ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
