Services
Extraction and ventilation support for commercial kitchen projects, cooklines, bars and refurbishment schemes.
Extraction and ventilation
Commercial kitchen ventilation affects comfort, compliance, cooking performance, fire safety, building design and the long-term maintainability of the kitchen.
YCE includes extraction and ventilation thinking within wider kitchen projects so canopies, ductwork, fans, controls and equipment layouts are planned together.
Key considerations
We review the cooking equipment, heat load, building layout, duct route options and the way the ventilation system will interact with the kitchen operation.
The brief identifies canopy requirements, extract routes, make-up air, controls, access and the coordination needed with other services or trades.
YCE coordinates ventilation requirements as part of the wider project so the canopy and extract system support the equipment layout and installation programme.
After handover, access for cleaning, maintenance and future equipment changes remains important. We help clients consider how the system will be looked after long term.
Further detail
Ventilation can make or break a commercial kitchen. It influences where equipment can sit, how comfortable the kitchen feels, how the building services are coordinated and how easy the system is to maintain.
By planning extraction at the same time as equipment and layout, YCE helps clients avoid late design changes and more expensive on-site compromises.
