A commercial kitchen extraction system is more than just a canopy and a fan. Several ancillary pieces of equipment work alongside it to keep the kitchen safe, compliant, and running smoothly — and they're often overlooked until an inspection or an insurance assessment flags them.
Gas Bottle Cages
If your kitchen uses bottled gas (LPG) for cooking or catering equipment, a secure, ventilated gas bottle cage isn't optional — it's a fire safety requirement. Ours are built from durable galvanised steel, designed to keep cylinders upright, secured, and away from direct heat sources, while allowing any leaked gas to disperse safely rather than pool.
Fryer Basket Racks
A dedicated fryer basket rack keeps hot baskets off worktops and away from staff during busy service, reducing burn risk and keeping the area around fryers tidier and safer to move around. It's a small piece of equipment that makes a noticeable difference during a lunch or dinner rush.
Charcoal Grill Setups
Charcoal grilling produces more smoke and particulate than standard gas cooking, which means the canopy and filtration above it needs to work harder. We supply charcoal grill and canopy combinations sized specifically to handle this heavier extraction load, rather than relying on a standard kitchen canopy that isn't rated for it.
Canopy Lighting
Proper lighting inside the canopy void isn't just convenience — it's a practical safety requirement for staff working underneath hot equipment. Our stainless steel canopy lights are built to withstand heat and grease exposure without degrading like a standard domestic fitting would.
Why These Details Matter
None of this equipment replaces a properly sized canopy, fan, and ducting system — but each piece closes a gap that inspectors, insurers, or your own staff will eventually notice. As a UK manufacturer, we supply these alongside our core extraction range so a kitchen fit-out can be sourced from one place rather than chased across multiple suppliers.
If you're planning a new kitchen fit-out or filling gaps in an existing one, get in touch with your equipment list and we'll confirm what's needed.
