Our experienced installation teams deliver commercial kitchen ventilation systems to the highest standards of workmanship, safety and compliance.

Working alongside world-leading manufacturers and principal contractors, every project is managed by dedicated consultants and IFE-qualified project managers to ensure smooth delivery from start to finish.

Installation is carried out by FIRAS-accredited engineers and independently verified through third-party certification and regular inspections by FIRAS-registered supervisors.

Once installation is complete, we undertake full commissioning and provide comprehensive operator training, ensuring your team can use and maintain the system safely and efficiently from day one.

testimonials

Hear what our clients say about our fire safety services

Mace

Mace

Operations Director

FSL came to the project on short notice but left a lasting impression on the client and main contractor alike. The works undertaken were carried out quickly, safely and to the highest standard. The site team tidied up  at the end of every shift, coordinated their works to allow other project deadlines to be achieved and left catalogue standard finished product to top it off. Off site support with compliance guidance and project management was seamless and all works passed quality inspections and system testing first time, what more could a project ask for!

 

Would highly recommend.

We deliver commercial kitchen solutions for a wide range of sectors, including:

  • Restaurants and hospitality venues
  • Hotels
  • Healthcare facilities
  • Schools and universities
  • Retail and leisure developments
  • Airports and transport hubs
  • Commercial offices
  • Industrial catering facilities

Whether it’s a new-build project or refurbishment, we tailor every solution to the operational requirements of the building.

Do you provide bespoke kitchen ventilation systems?

Yes. Every commercial kitchen is different. We design bespoke kitchen ventilation systems that are tailored to the cooking equipment, building layout, airflow requirements and fire strategy of each project.

Why is fire resisting ductwork important in commercial kitchens?

Commercial kitchen extract systems often pass through fire compartments within a building.

 

Fire resisting ductwork helps maintain compartmentation, limiting the spread of fire and smoke while protecting escape routes and neighbouring areas. Correct specification and installation are essential for achieving compliance with current fire safety standards.

Do you supply and install Ansul fire suppression systems?

Yes. We supply and install UL300-compliant Ansul fire suppression systems designed specifically for commercial cooking environments. These systems provide automatic fire protection for cooking appliances, extraction canopies and associated ductwork.

Are your installation teams accredited?

Yes. Our installation teams are FIRAS accredited, with projects managed by experienced IFE-qualified professionals. Our work is subject to independent third-party certification, providing confidence that installations comply with tested systems and recognised industry standards.

Can you work with our consultant or M&E contractor?

Absolutely. We regularly work alongside consultants, M&E contractors, principal contractors and architects, providing technical support, design coordination, CAD drawings and installation services throughout the project lifecycle.

Do you provide commissioning and staff training?

Yes. Following installation, we commission all systems to ensure they operate correctly and provide on-site training so your staff understand how to use and maintain the equipment safely.

Do you offer maintenance after installation?

Yes. We provide planned preventative maintenance and servicing to help keep your commercial kitchen operating safely and efficiently.

 

Our maintenance services include:

 

  • Kitchen canopy cleaning
  • Fire resisting ductwork cleaning
  • Extraction fan servicing
  • Ventilation maintenance
  • Fire suppression system servicing
  • Planned maintenance programmes
Why is regular kitchen extract cleaning important?

Grease accumulation within canopies, ductwork and extraction systems can increase the risk of fire while reducing ventilation performance. Regular cleaning helps maintain system efficiency, supports fire safety and assists with ongoing compliance and insurance requirements.

Can you provide technical advice during the design stage?

Yes. Our in-house estimating, CAD and technical teams can assist during the early stages of a project, helping clients select compliant systems, coordinate designs and prepare technical information for approval.
