Kitchen Extraction Supply and Fit Services in London

Fitting a professional-grade kitchen extraction system in your restaurant is not just about clearing smoke or odours. It's about ensuring compliance with safety standards, staying compliant, and running a professional kitchen efficiently.

In Greater London and the surrounding boroughs, commercial kitchens must be equipped with professionally specified and integrated extraction systems that meet building and council regulations. Opening a new restaurant? Or perhaps upgrading your existing setup? A bespoke extraction system is a critical investment.

We deliver full-service solutions: from system design, supply and installation, to regular servicing and support. Our restaurant extraction systems feature canopy hoods, ductwork, fans, odour control units, gas interlock systems and make-up air provision.

What Makes Up a Restaurant Extraction System?

A commercial kitchen extraction system typically includes:

Canopy Hoods

Remove fumes and vapours directly from cooking appliances.

Extraction Fans

Drive airflow and help remove grease-laden air efficiently.

Ductwork and Ventilation Ducts

Channel extracted air to the exterior of the building.

Odour Control Units

Advanced odour management components to neutralise smells.

Custom Kitchen Ventilation System Design in London

Each restaurant kitchen in Greater London varies by size, layout, workflow, equipment setup, cooking methods and output. That's why bespoke ventilation system design is essential.

We perform airflow calculations to ensure your ventilation setup delivers optimal performance.

Local Knowledge, London-Wide Coverage

The capital spans 32 boroughs along with the City of London, each with its own local council rules, planning requirements and compliance procedures. That's why local knowledge makes a difference when installing compliant systems.

We cover:

Central and Inner London:

From the trendy eateries of Camden, Islington, and Hackney to the fine-dining establishments in Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea. We have installed systems close to iconic spots like the Shard (Southwark), Borough Market, and Oxford Street.

East London:

Tower Hamlets, Newham, Redbridge, Waltham Forest, and Barking and Dagenham. These areas host fast-growing food businesses, often requiring streamlined kitchen ventilation.

South London:

Lambeth, Lewisham, Croydon, Bromley, and Sutton – covering everything from food courts in shopping centres to high street cafés.

West and North West London:

Hammersmith and Fulham, Ealing, Brent, Harrow, and Hillingdon are known for restaurants serving a wide range of international cuisines.

North and Outer Boroughs:

Barnet, Enfield, Haringey, Bexley, Havering, Hounslow, Kingston upon Thames, Merton, Richmond upon Thames and the leafy boroughs beyond the A406. We install systems in proximity to landmarks such as Heathrow (Hillingdon), Alexandra Palace (Haringey), and Wimbledon (Merton).

Wherever your food business is based, we deal with borough-level planning and health safety requirements with proven experience.

Air Quality, Grease Control & Fire Safety Compliance

Good air quality is more than just having daily comfort. Grease build-up in ducts and inefficient air movement can create dangerous kitchen conditions.

Our systems are designed for safety and compliance, using fire-rated ductwork and compliant filters.

Extraction System Installation and Gas Interlock Systems

Our HVAC ventilation engineers are fully qualified to install systems that feature gas interlock panels, which disconnect the gas line if a fault is detected in the extraction system.

This is a required compliance step for many food businesses.
