Canopies and Extraction Hoods
Tailored Ventilation Solutions for Every Commercial Kitchen
At Absolute Commercial Kitchens, we specialise in designing, fabricating and installing high-performance extraction canopies and ventilation hoods that meet both the practical demands of busy kitchens and the strict safety standards of UK regulations. Whether you need a wall-mounted Type I grease canopy or an island Type II steam hood, our solutions are engineered for maximum efficiency and ease of use.
What We Do
- Custom Design & Install: We design each canopy to extend at least 300 mm beyond the edges of cooking equipment for optimal capture of heat, grease, smoke and steam — in full alignment with DW172 guidelines.
- Precise Fabrication: Crafted from high-grade stainless steel or corrosion-resistant materials, our hoods are durable and easy to maintain, ensuring hygiene and long-term reliability in high-use environments.
- Expert Ventilation Planning: We calculate airflow requirements and recommend appropriate extraction rates to maintain a safe and comfortable working environment, while minimising grease and moisture carry-over.
- Seamless Installer Coordination: From ducting layout to fan selection, we work in close partnership with your mechanical contractor to deliver a fully compliant and efficient ventilation system.
- Ongoing Maintenance Advice: To help you achieve long-term performance, we offer guidance on filter cleaning, airflow validation and routine servicing — all essential for safe, efficient operation.
Why Choose Us?
- Built to Last: Our robust canopy designs include integrated grease drains, welded ductwork and grease-filter plenums for safer, more sanitary operation.
- Compliance You Can Trust: We meticulously follow DW172 regulations and ensure full coverage beyond cooking zones to safeguard air quality and fire safety.
- Bespoke Fit & Finish: Every hood is tailor-made to the unique layout of your kitchen — whether island, wall-mounted or condensate-filtration style.
