About Ventex

Commercial kitchen extraction, done properly

Kitchen ventilation isn’t a box-ticking exercise. Get the design wrong, and extraction fails your Environmental Health inspection, your kitchen overheats on a busy service, and running costs climb. Ventex was built on a simple rule: design and install every system as if we were the ones cooking on the line, and stand behind it afterwards with proper aftercare.

Reviews

What our clients say

“They replaced our full canopy system over a weekend closure. The kitchen runs noticeably cooler, and we passed our EHO visit without a single note.”

Maria K.

Restaurant owner

“Fast, tidy, and they explained exactly what compliance paperwork we’d need before the inspector ever asked. Genuinely reassuring.”

David R.

Head Chef, Manchester

“Our old extraction was struggling badly on a Friday night service. Ventex redesigned it properly instead of just patching it up.”

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What does DW172 and HVCA compliance actually mean for my kitchen?
DW172 and HVCA are the recognised UK standards for kitchen ventilation ductwork construction, cleanliness and fire safety. Working to them means your system is built, installed and cleanable to a standard your insurer, landlord and local Environmental Health Officer will accept.
Both. We regularly inherit sites from other contractors, survey the existing canopy, ductwork and fan set, and either bring it up to standard or design a replacement around your kitchen layout.
Free site surveys are typically booked within a few working days. For breakdowns and urgent extraction faults we operate a 24/7 call-out service and aim to have an engineer on site the same day wherever possible.
Yes. Every engineer is trained and experienced specifically in commercial kitchen environments, and we carry full public liability and employers’ liability insurance on every contract.
Yes. Every install and clean is followed by a compliance handover pack, including certification your insurer, landlord or EHO can request at any time.
