Kitchen extraction and ventilation specialists in Manchester
Manchester's food scene has grown faster than almost anywhere in the UK, and much of it has moved into buildings that were never meant to hold a kitchen. Former mills and warehouses in Ancoats and the Northern Quarter offer high ceilings and exposed brickwork, but also heritage constraints, timber floors and apartments directly above — all of which shape where a duct can run and where it can discharge.
Elsewhere the challenge is intensity. The Curry Mile in Rusholme, Chinatown and the late-night takeaways of Fallowfield run high-output cooking for long hours in tightly packed terraces, where odour and noise reach the neighbours quickly. New-build schemes in Spinningfields and around Deansgate come with landlord risers and strict fit-out guides to follow.
We design each system to DW/172 and the EMAQ+ guidance that Manchester City Council and the surrounding boroughs apply, and we supply the drawings, odour assessments and commissioning records that planners, landlords and environmental health officers ask for.
