Schools & Universities — supply & install.
Canteen and training kitchen extraction for educational institutions.
Sound familiar?
If any of these are happening in your kitchen, your extraction is under-performing — and it's costing you money, safety, or both.
Failed Environmental Health inspection
Grease-laden ducting or under-specified extraction can shut your kitchen down overnight.
Chefs roasting on the line
Poorly balanced make-up air and weak extraction turns your kitchen into a sauna.
Grease build-up and fire risk
Inadequate filtration means grease accumulates in ducts — a known commercial kitchen fire cause.
Runaway energy bills
Oversized or badly-specified fans waste thousands on electricity every year.
Built for schools & universities — from day one.
Every schools & universities project starts with a visit to your site. We measure, note constraints, talk to your chef or facilities manager, and go away to design the system that actually fits what you do. No templated quotes. No copy-paste specs.
- Industry-specific compliance baked in
- Noise and vibration constraints understood
- Discharge requirements (roof, side, rear) handled
- Maintenance schedule aligned to your operating hours
From first call to commissioning.
No handoffs, no subcontracting, no finger-pointing. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us.
Discovery call
A 15-minute call or WhatsApp exchange to understand your kitchen, timeline and constraints.
Free on-site survey
Our design engineer visits, takes CAD measurements and sketches the system. No obligation, no charge.
Fixed-price design
You get CAD drawings, a full bill of materials, compliance notes, and one fixed price — usually within 5 working days.
Fabrication
Your canopy, ducting and motor set are built in our London workshop. Typically 3–5 weeks.
Install & commission
Our engineers install, balance, noise-test and deliver a signed DW/172 commissioning pack for your records.
Compliance without the headache.
Every commercial extraction system in the UK has to pass muster with four different gatekeepers. We handle every one of them so you can focus on running your kitchen.
Environmental Health
DW/172-compliant design, grease management, and a signed commissioning report. We speak EHO.
Building Control
Fire damper placement, means-of-escape integrity and safe discharge. We liaise directly on your behalf.
Your insurer
Documented kitchen extraction with regular deep-clean schedule — the key to keeping your premium sane.
Landlord
Discharge at roof level, noise-compliant, vibration-isolated. Handover pack included for lease file.

How much extraction do you actually need?
A rough estimate in seconds. Adjust the inputs to match your kitchen and we'll suggest a starting airflow rating. Final spec is always confirmed with a site survey.
What our clients say.
"Commercial Fan Pro specified and installed a full 4.8m twin-canopy system for our new Shoreditch site. DW/172 pack delivered, commissioned on time, and the kitchen is noticeably cooler than our last extraction setup."
"We were 10 days from opening when our extract fan failed. The Commercial Fan Pro team were on-site the next morning with a replacement Ventorn unit and commissioned within 24 hours. Saved our launch."
"Needed high-airflow extraction for 6 ghost-kitchen units in a tight footprint. They designed and installed a custom low-noise system that passed Environmental Health first time."
London's commercial ventilation team.
We're a North London-based commercial ventilation specialist. Our design engineers, fabrication workshop and primary install teams are all based here — serving restaurants, hotels, dark kitchens and industrial sites across Greater London and the Home Counties. We also travel further afield for larger projects.
All 32 boroughs + the City. Same-week site surveys, next-day emergency callouts.
Further afield (Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Scotland)? Yes — we travel for larger projects. Ask.
DW/172 compliant. Every system. Every time.
The DW/172 specification is the industry standard for commercial kitchen ventilation. We design, install and commission to this spec — and you get the documentation pack for Environmental Health, your insurer, and your landlord.

CAD measured, airflow calculated, and a fixed-price quote in your inbox within 5 working days.
- For standard canopy hood replacements we can usually install within 2–4 weeks of sign-off. Emergency extract failures we can mobilise inside 72 hours. Full new-build fit-outs depend on fabrication time — typically 4–6 weeks.
- Yes, every system we supply is designed and commissioned to DW/172 (HVCA specification for kitchen ventilation systems). You get a full commissioning pack for Environmental Health and your insurer.
- Absolutely. About half our work is replacement or upgrade. We survey the existing ducting, motor, and any make-up air provision, then design the minimum-intervention solution.
- Our workshop is in North London but we install nationwide across the UK. Our engineers are mobile and regularly work from Edinburgh to Exeter.
- Yes — we offer scheduled deep-cleaning, filter replacement, bearing service and compliance inspection packages. Most clients renew annually.
- 2-year parts & labour warranty as standard. Extended warranties and service-level agreements available on request.
