Professional Kitchen Extract Systems: Compliant, Efficient and Safe
Commercial kitchen ventilation presents unique challenges that require specialised knowledge and equipment. Brudavent designs and installs comprehensive kitchen extract systems that effectively manage heat, moisture, smoke, odours and grease whilst ensuring compliance with UK regulations and standards.
Our kitchen ventilation solutions begin with proper canopy selection and placement, engineered to capture cooking effluents at the source. We design systems in accordance with DW/172 specifications and HSE guidelines, ensuring effective extraction rates that maintain comfortable working conditions and food safety standards.
Brudavent’s kitchen extract systems incorporate:
- Correctly sized extract canopies with appropriate overhang dimensions
- High-efficiency grease filtration systems (baffle or cyclonic)
- Fire-rated ductwork compliant with Building Regulations
- Automatic fire suppression systems integrated with canopy design
- Variable speed fan controls for energy optimisation
- Makeup air systems for balanced ventilation
- Odour control technologies (carbon filters, UV, ESP)
- Noise attenuation for sensitive locations
- Access panels for cleaning and maintenance
We understand the critical importance of fire safety in kitchen extract systems, with particular attention to grease accumulation risks. Our designs include appropriate fire-rated ductwork, fire suppression integration and compartmentation measures as required by Building Regulations and insurance standards.
For existing kitchen extract systems requiring upgrade or remediation, we offer detailed surveys and performance assessments, identifying improvement opportunities that enhance safety, efficiency and compliance. Our remedial solutions address underlying issues whilst minimising operational disruption.
Brudavent also provides specialist cleaning services for kitchen extract systems, ensuring ongoing compliance with TR19 guidelines and insurance requirements. Our comprehensive documentation includes cleanable surface verification and photographic evidence of cleaning effectiveness.
Trust Brudavent to deliver kitchen extract systems that combine regulatory compliance with operational efficiency, creating safe, comfortable environments for commercial food preparation across the UK.
