Kitchens, workshops and duct cleaning, Scottish Borders
Commercial kitchen extraction in the Scottish Borders
Canopies, extract fans, make-up air and gas interlocks for cafés and restaurants, across the Scottish Borders.
- From £5,700 + VAT per kitchen
- Free survey
For Scottish Borders restaurants, extraction is usually planned alongside the gas works and planning conditions.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout the Scottish Borders, from Hawick and Galashiels. 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.
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.

Rules in Scotland
In Scotland, ventilation is covered by the Building (Scotland) Regulations and section 3 of the Technical Handbooks, and most building work needs a building warrant first. In Scotland, new kitchen flues often need both planning permission and a building warrant; TR19 and BS 6173 still apply.

Questions about commercial kitchen extraction in the Scottish Borders
Is the survey free in the Scottish Borders?
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.
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.
Which rules apply to ventilation in the Scottish Borders?
In Scotland, ventilation is covered by section 3 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks. Private rented homes must meet the Repairing Standard, and workplaces must be ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
