Kitchen Ventilation That Actually Works

An effective kitchen ventilation system removes cooking odours, steam, grease particles and heat before they spread into the rest of the building. The key to an effective system is correct sizing — an extraction rate matched to the cooking load and kitchen volume — combined with a properly designed duct route and makeup air provision to replace what is extracted.

We design and install kitchen ventilation for domestic kitchens, extensions, open-plan kitchen-diners and commercial catering operations across Leicester. Whether you need a simple inline fan and duct upgrade, a new canopy hood with grease filters, or a complete commercial kitchen extraction system, our engineers assess your requirements and design the right solution.

  • Extraction rate sized for cooking load and kitchen volume
  • Duct design for maximum extraction efficiency
  • Grease filter systems for commercial applications
  • Makeup air provision to prevent negative pressure

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my kitchen extraction is big enough?

A common sign of inadequate extraction is steam and cooking smells spreading into other rooms, or condensation forming on kitchen windows and walls. We calculate the required extraction rate based on your cooking appliances and kitchen volume to ensure the system is correctly sized.

Can you replace or upgrade an existing kitchen extractor?

Yes. We carry out upgrades and replacements of existing domestic extractor fans, canopy hoods and inline fan systems. If your existing system is underperforming or noisy, we can assess and upgrade it.

Do commercial kitchen ventilation systems need regular cleaning?

Yes. Commercial kitchen canopies and ductwork accumulate grease that is a fire risk and reduces system performance. We recommend regular grease filter cleaning and periodic ductwork cleaning for all commercial kitchen ventilation systems.

Do I need planning permission for kitchen extraction ducting?

Most domestic installations don't require planning permission. Commercial premises that duct to external walls in residential areas may have restrictions on where the outlet can be positioned — we'll flag any concerns during the survey.
