Kitchen ventilation design and surveys
Good ventilation is decided on the drawing board. We survey the site, calculate what the kitchen needs and produce the drawings and information that contractors, consultants and planning officers need before anything is made.
Surveys, calculations and drawings
We design to BESA DW/172 and EMAQ+ best practice, sizing extract by the thermal convection method EMAQ+ recommends, and selecting supply, odour control and attenuation to suit the site.
- Pre-installation surveys: measurements, routes, structure and access
- Existing-system surveys for refits, landlord or insurance purposes
- CAD drawings of canopies, ductwork routes and plant
- Airflow calculations for extract and supply
- Odour and noise information for planning applications
- Specification support for consultants

Design and survey FAQs
What information do you need to design a kitchen ventilation system?
A kitchen layout, the equipment schedule and the building drawings get us started. We will then survey the site to confirm the routes, structure and discharge point.
Can you provide drawings for a planning application?
Yes. We provide the system design and equipment information planning officers and environmental health officers ask for, including the odour and noise control proposed.
Do you survey existing ventilation systems?
Yes. We survey existing systems for refits, change of use, landlord requirements and insurance claims, and report what is there, what works and what needs to change.
