A properly designed commercial kitchen canopy and extractor system is essential for restaurants, cafés, takeaways, and catering facilities. These systems remove heat, smoke, grease, and cooking odours, helping maintain a safe and hygienic working environment.

At East London Metal Engineering Ltd., we design and fabricate stainless steel commercial kitchen canopies with powerful extractor motors, providing reliable ventilation solutions for professional kitchens across Greater London and surrounding areas.

Why Commercial Kitchens Need Canopy and Extraction Systems

Commercial cooking generates large amounts of heat, steam, grease particles, and strong odours. Without proper ventilation, these elements quickly build up, creating uncomfortable working conditions and increasing fire risks.

A well-designed canopy and extractor system helps to:

  • Remove smoke and cooking fumes
  • Control kitchen temperature and humidity
  • Improve air circulation for staff comfort
  • Reduce grease accumulation on walls and ceilings
  • Maintain hygiene and ventilation standards in commercial kitchens

For restaurants and takeaway businesses, efficient ventilation is essential for both health regulations and operational efficiency.

Stainless Steel Kitchen Canopy Fabrication

At East London Metal Engineering Ltd., we fabricate custom stainless steel kitchen canopies designed specifically for commercial kitchens.

Stainless steel is the ideal material because it offers:

  • High durability and strength
  • Excellent resistance to heat and corrosion
  • Easy cleaning and maintenance
  • A hygienic surface suitable for food preparation environments

Our stainless steel canopies are installed above cooking equipment such as grills, fryers, ovens, and cooktops, capturing smoke and grease before it spreads throughout the kitchen.

Standard Canopy Size Guidelines

Every kitchen layout is different, but commercial kitchen canopies usually follow standard dimensions to ensure effective ventilation.

Typical canopy size guidelines include:

Width (depth from wall):
600mm – 1000mm depending on cooking equipment size.

Length:
Custom made according to the cooking line or client requirement.

Height:
Designed to suit the kitchen ceiling height and equipment position, usually between 450mm – 600mm canopy height.

At East London Metal Engineering Ltd., we manufacture bespoke stainless steel canopies, meaning the final size is always adjusted to suit the client’s kitchen layout and ventilation needs.

Extractor Systems with High-Performance Motors

A canopy works together with a commercial extractor system and motor to remove contaminated air efficiently.

Our systems typically include:

  • High-performance extractor motors
  • Stainless steel canopy hood
  • Grease filters and baffle filters
  • Air ducting systems
  • Ventilation outlets

The extractor motor pulls hot air, grease particles, and smoke through the canopy and duct system, removing them safely from the building and improving overall air quality in the kitchen.

Estimated Price Guide

The cost of a commercial kitchen canopy and extractor system depends on the size, motor power, ducting length, and installation requirements.

Below is a general price guide:

Small stainless steel canopy (single cooking line)
Approx. £1200 – £2,500

Medium commercial kitchen canopy with extractor motor
Approx. £3,500 – £6,000

Large restaurant canopy with full extraction system and ducting
Approx. £4,000 – £10,000+

Final pricing depends on:

  • canopy size and fabrication
  • stainless steel thickness
  • extractor motor capacity
  • ducting system length
  • installation complexity
