Can you design a system for a new-build or refit before the kitchen is finished?

Yes. We regularly work from architect and kitchen designer drawings to produce a ventilation design and airflow calculation before any equipment goes in, so ductwork routes and plant space are agreed early.

What is included in a planned maintenance contract?

A typical contract covers scheduled filter cleaning, fan and motor checks, belt and bearing inspection, airflow verification and a written compliance report after every visit, with priority booking for call-outs.

Do you work around live kitchen service hours?

Yes. Installation, repair and cleaning visits can be scheduled outside service hours or during planned closures, so the kitchen isn’t out of action during trading.

Complete Commercial Kitchen Extraction & Ventilation Solutions

Q: How do I know which extraction service my kitchen needs?

Most new enquiries start with a free site survey. Our engineer looks at your cooking line, current airflow and any Environmental Health notes, then recommends the right combination of canopy, ductwork, fan and controls for your kitchen.

From bespoke canopies and ductwork to grease removal, extractor fan repairs and planned maintenance, Extractor Experts helps keep your system working efficiently, your kitchen comfortable and your maintenance responsibilities under control.

Our Services

One team, every part of your extraction system

From the first sketch of a canopy layout to the annual filter clean years later, Extractor Experts covers every stage of commercial kitchen ventilation in-house. That means one point of contact, one set of compliance paperwork, and an engineer who already knows your kitchen if something needs attention.

Kitchen Canopy Installation

The canopy captures heat, steam, smoke and grease-laden vapours before they spread through the kitchen. It must be correctly sized and integrated with the extraction system.

We supply and install commercial kitchen canopies based on the cooking line, equipment layout and required capture area.

Suitable for:

The result is a canopy designed around the kitchen rather than an unsuitable off-the-shelf configuration.

Commercial Kitchen Extraction Systems

We design and install complete commercial kitchen extraction systems based on the kitchen layout, cooking load and operational requirements.

Our services include:

A properly designed system helps improve smoke capture, reduce kitchen heat and support efficient operation.

Ductwork Installation

Commercial kitchen ductwork carries heat, grease-laden air, smoke and cooking odours away from the kitchen. Poorly routed or inaccessible ductwork can restrict airflow and make inspection and cleaning considerably more difficult.

We install and modify commercial extraction ductwork as part of new systems, refurbishment projects and ventilation upgrades. Our approach considers:

Where appropriate, systems can be designed with access provisions that support future cleaning in line with relevant industry guidance, including TR19 principles.

Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Design

Early ventilation planning can prevent restricted duct routes, unsuitable fan selection, inadequate plant space and expensive alterations later in the project. Extractor Experts provides ventilation design support for new kitchens, restaurant refurbishments, change-of-use projects and existing systems requiring improvement. The design process may consider:

The objective is a practical extraction solution that supports both kitchen operation and future system maintenance.

Commercial Extractor Fan Repairs and Fault Finding

Extractor fan faults can cause poor airflow, excess heat and smoke, disrupting kitchen operations. We diagnose commercial extraction faults and recommend repair or component replacement where required. Common issues include:

24/7 emergency call-outs are available, subject to location and engineer availability.

Extraction Cleaning, Grease Removal and Planned Maintenance

Grease and debris can build up in commercial kitchen canopies, filters, fans and ductwork, reducing airflow and increasing fire risk.

Our planned cleaning and maintenance services may include:

Cleaning frequency depends on cooking type, grease levels and operating hours. TR19-related documentation can be provided where agreed and applicable.

How It Works

From Site Survey to Service Report

Site Survey and System Assessment

We inspect the canopy, filters, fan, accessible ductwork and controls. We also discuss cooking methods, operating hours, known faults and any concerns raised by an insurer, landlord or inspecting authority.

Scope and Quotation

You receive a quotation explaining the proposed installation, repair, cleaning or maintenance work. Any access limitations, recommended remedial work and requested documentation should be agreed at this stage.

Service Delivery

Our team completes the agreed work with consideration for kitchen operating hours. Areas surrounding the work are protected, and removed grease and debris are managed appropriately.

Inspection and Handover

The completed work is checked, and relevant findings are explained. Where included in the agreed scope, you receive service documentation, photographs and recommendations for future maintenance.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Commercial Kitchen Extraction Service FAQs

How do I know which extraction service my kitchen needs?

Start with a site survey. We can inspect the system, discuss the problem and determine whether you need cleaning, maintenance, repair, component replacement, ductwork alteration or a complete redesign.

Why does commercial kitchen ductwork need cleaning?

Grease-laden vapour can deposit contamination on internal duct surfaces. Accumulation may restrict airflow and contribute to fire risk, particularly where ductwork is difficult to inspect or has not been cleaned regularly.

How often should a kitchen extraction system be cleaned?

The appropriate frequency depends on cooking type, daily operating hours, grease loading and previous inspection findings. Your fire-risk assessment, insurer and relevant industry guidance should also be considered.

Does extraction cleaning include the complete ductwork system?

The service scope depends on system access and the agreed quotation. Canopy cleaning alone should not be presented as complete extraction-system cleaning. We will identify which components and duct sections are included.

Can you design and install a complete extraction system?

Yes. We provide commercial kitchen canopy installation, ventilation design, extractor systems and ductwork installation for new kitchens and refurbishment projects.

Which areas do you cover?

Our primary service area is London and Greater London. Contact us with your postcode and service requirements to confirm availability.
