Restaurant Kitchen Ventilation Installation Company London


Having a well-functioning kitchen extraction system in your restaurant is not just about clearing smoke or smells. It's about meeting legal obligations, staying compliant, and operating a professional kitchen efficiently.

In London and Greater London, commercial kitchens must be set up with professionally specified and engineered extraction systems that meet industry and environmental health regulations. Opening a new restaurant? Or modernising an old system? A bespoke extraction system is a must-have investment.

Why Every Restaurant in London Requires a Compliant Ventilation System

An well-designed kitchen extraction system ensures:

  • Elimination of smoke, grease vapour, steam and contaminants
  • A safer cooking environment
  • Adherence to industry standards such as DW172, BS6173 and Gas Safe
  • Reduced fire risk and improved air quality
We provide complete packages: from consultancy, equipment sourcing and fitting, 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.

Main Parts of a Kitchen Ventilation and Extraction System

A commercial kitchen extraction system typically features:

Canopy Hoods

Extract fumes and vapours at the source of heat and steam.

Extraction Fans

Ensure proper airflow and extract greasy vapours.

Ductwork and Ventilation Ducts

Transport contaminated air away from the kitchen.

Odour Control Units

Advanced odour management components to minimise nuisance to neighbours.

Designing a Commercial Kitchen Ventilation System That Works

Each restaurant kitchen in Greater London is unique in terms of size, layout, workflow, equipment setup, cooking methods and output. That's why tailored ventilation system design is essential.

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

Expertise Across Greater London's Food Districts

London is made up of 32 boroughs plus 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 busy restaurants of Camden, Islington, and Hackney to the fine-dining establishments in Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea. We work near 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 compact and efficient systems.

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 catering to diverse communities and 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).

No matter your location in London, we deal with borough-level planning and health safety requirements with ease.

Ventilation Safety: Managing Grease, Airflow, and Fire Risk

Clean air isn't only about comfort—it's a safety priority. Greasy residue in extraction lines and restricted ventilation pose serious fire risks.

Our systems are built with this in mind, using components that meet fire safety and ventilation standards.

Certified Installation of Ventilation and Gas Interlock Systems

Our HVAC ventilation engineers are fully qualified to install systems that integrate gas interlock panels, which automatically cut off gas flow if the ventilation system fails.

This is a mandatory safety measure under UK kitchen regulations.
