Commercial extraction canopies are the unsung heroes of professional kitchens across the UK, quietly whisking away heat, smoke, grease and odours to keep your cooking environment comfortable and compliant. Crafted from robust stainless steel with powerful extraction rates measured in cubic meters per hour (m³/h), these ventilation systems are essential for restaurants, hotels, pubs, and busy commercial kitchens. After 50 years in the business, we've seen how the right extraction canopy dramatically improves kitchen working conditions and pairs brilliantly with commercial cooking ranges and fryers. More than just meeting legal requirements, a proper extraction system keeps your staff comfortable, your kitchen cleaner, and your customers happier!

Extraction canopies operate on a surprisingly straightforward principle that delivers powerful results. The system pulls air upward through stainless steel filters that trap grease particles, while powerful fans extract smoke, steam and odours through ductwork to the outside. Most commercial models feature integrated LED lighting to illuminate cooking areas and removable grease filters that can be cleaned in a dishwasher. The extraction rate—typically 1,000-3,000 m³/h depending on kitchen size and cooking intensity—creates negative pressure that prevents kitchen odours from escaping into dining areas. Some advanced systems even include heat recovery technology, recycling extracted warm air to improve energy efficiency!

For optimal performance, always run your extraction system 15 minutes before cooking begins and leave it running 30 minutes after service ends. Clean filters weekly (or daily for heavy-use kitchens) to maintain extraction efficiency and reduce fire hazards. Keep baffles and stainless steel surfaces wiped down with a degreaser solution to prevent buildup. Schedule professional deep cleaning of the entire ducting system every 3-6 months depending on cooking volume—this complies with insurance requirements and extends system life.
Having supplied extraction systems to thousands of UK kitchens over five decades, we've gained valuable perspective. 'A properly sized extraction canopy is the backbone of any commercial kitchen,' explains Martin, our ventilation specialist. 'It's not just about compliance—it's about creating a comfortable, efficient workspace that helps retain staff and maintain food quality.'
One of our standout success stories comes from The Silver Swan, a bustling gastropub in Chester. They were expanding their kitchen but worried about smoke affecting their historic building and cosy dining areas. We fitted a custom-sized wall canopy with a 2,500 m³/h extraction rate and connected it to existing ductwork. The head chef told us: 'It's completely transformed our kitchen environment. We've expanded our menu to include flame-grilled specials and our kitchen team is actually comfortable during service now, even with the commercial ranges and fryers running full tilt!'
