Do you work with kitchens outside hospitality, like manufacturing or healthcare?

Yes. Alongside restaurants, hotels and takeaways, we regularly design and install extraction for schools, care homes, hospitals and food manufacturing sites, each with its own compliance and operating requirements.

Does my industry affect the type of extraction system I need?

Yes. A 24-hour food manufacturing line, a school kitchen used a few hours a day, and a late-night takeaway all place very different demands on filters, fans and maintenance schedules, so we design around how your kitchen actually operates.

Can you work within a healthcare or education site's access restrictions?

Yes. We’re used to working within safeguarding, DBS and site induction requirements for schools, care homes and hospitals, and can schedule work around term time, visiting hours or resident routines.

Which industries do you provide commercial kitchen ventilation services for?

Extractor Experts works with a wide range of industries, including restaurants, hotels, cafés, takeaways, pubs, schools, universities, hospitals, care homes, food production facilities, and commercial catering businesses. We tailor every extraction and ventilation system to meet the specific requirements of each industry.

Can you design a ventilation system specifically for my business?

Yes. Every commercial kitchen is different, which is why we provide bespoke ventilation system design based on your kitchen layout, cooking equipment, and operational needs. Our team ensures your extraction system delivers optimal performance, energy efficiency, and compliance with current UK standards.

INDUSTRIES WE SUPPORT

Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Solutions for Every Industry

Specialist extraction and ventilation design, installation, repair and maintenance for commercial kitchens, catering facilities and food-production environments across London.

From a restaurant facing an urgent extractor fan failure to a school planning a new kitchen, Extractor Experts provides practical solutions built around each site’s equipment, operating hours and safety requirements.

Every Commercial Kitchen Operates Differently

A restaurant running two intense services each day places different demands on its extraction system than a school kitchen operating around lunchtime or a food-production facility running extended shifts.

Cooking equipment, grease loading, heat output, opening hours, noise sensitivity, building layout and maintenance access all affect what the extraction system must deliver.

Extractor Experts assesses these factors before recommending a canopy, fan, ductwork, repair or maintenance solution. We provide end-to-end support covering:

Commercial kitchen ventilation design
Kitchen canopy supply and installation
Planned inspections and maintenance
Grease-removal and cleaning scopes where agreed
Emergency commercial extraction call-outs

Our sector-focused approach helps businesses improve airflow, reduce avoidable downtime and manage their extraction-maintenance responsibilities more effectively.

Industries We Serve

Every kitchen operates differently your extraction should too

A school kitchen open for lunch service, a takeaway running until midnight, and a food manufacturing line running around the clock all put very different demands on extraction. We design systems around how your sector actually operates, not a one-size-fits-all template.

Restaurants

Canopy and ductwork designed around your cooking line from char-grills and woks to combi ovens keeping the kitchen cool during peak service.

Hotels

Multi-zone extraction across main kitchens, banqueting suites and staff canteens, installed in phases so guest service isn't disrupted.

Schools & Education

Ventilation designed for lunch-service intensity, DBS-checked engineers, and work scheduled around term time and holidays.

Care Homes & Healthcare

Fire-rated ductwork and compliance-first installation, with engineers used to working around resident routines and safeguarding requirements.

Takeaways & QSR

Space-efficient canopies and ductwork for compact units, built to cope with high-volume frying and grilling and to keep neighbours' noise complaints away.

Pubs & Bars

Extraction designed with licensing noise conditions in mind, especially where kitchens sit close to residential neighbours or beer gardens.

Food Manufacturing

Heavy-duty, continuous-operation extraction over production lines, with maintenance contracts built around 24-hour running.

Contract Catering

Multi-site maintenance contracts and rapid call-out response for catering operators managing several kitchens across different clients.

New-Build & Refit Developers

Ventilation design worked into the build programme from an early stage, coordinated with architects, M&E consultants and kitchen designers.

Restaurant Kitchen Extraction Systems

Effective commercial kitchen extraction requires suitable airflow, correctly positioned canopies, and adequate replacement air. The Health and Safety Executive provides commercial kitchen ventilation guidance covering important design and safety considerations for catering premises.

Common restaurant extraction problems include:

Smoke escaping beyond the canopy
Grease accumulation in filters, fans or ductwork
Noisy or vibrating extractor fans
Breakdowns that interrupt food service
Restricted access for maintenance and cleaning

We design, install, repair and maintain restaurant extraction systems around the cooking line and operating demands. The canopy, filtration, fan, controls and ductwork are considered as one connected system.

For restaurants using charcoal, wood or other solid fuels, additional carbon-monoxide and ventilation risks must be considered through competent design and risk assessment.

SERVICE AREA

Serving Industries Across London and Greater London

Extractor Experts supports suitable commercial premises throughout:

Service availability depends on the location, project requirements and engineer scheduling. Contact us with your postcode and business type to confirm coverage.

Healthcare, Care Homes and Supported-Living Kitchens

Hospitals, care homes and supported-living facilities often depend on continuous catering services. Extraction-system work must therefore be carefully coordinated around residents, patients, employees and meal schedules. Sector-specific considerations include:

We can assist with commercial kitchen ventilation design, extraction upgrades, fan repairs, ductwork, and planned maintenance for catering areas within healthcare and care environments.

Our work supports the extraction system itself. It does not replace the site’s fire-risk assessment, infection-control procedures or statutory facilities-management responsibilities.

FAQs

Commercial Extraction Questions from Different Industries

Does the type of business affect the extraction system required?

Yes. Cooking appliances, operating hours, grease loading, site layout, noise sensitivity and maintenance access all influence the appropriate extraction design and service schedule.

Do you only work with restaurants?

No. We support suitable commercial kitchens and catering facilities in hotels, takeaways, schools, healthcare premises, retail sites, food-production operations and managed properties.

Do you provide services for industrial facilities?

Our core expertise is commercial kitchen and suitable food-process extraction. Hazardous chemical fumes, combustible dust, ATEX systems and unrelated industrial processes require specialist assessment outside standard kitchen extraction work.

Can you work around operating hours?

Work may be scheduled around service hours, planned closures, school holidays or other site restrictions where reasonably possible.

Do you provide emergency repairs?

A 24/7 emergency call-out service is available for urgent commercial extraction faults, subject to location and engineer availability.
