Cost of Extraction Canopies

[SusanF]

Hi,

The restaurant I am involved with needs new equipment, eg gas cookers and a gas griddle. Unfortunately the canopy is so bad it needs replacing, an unfortunate expense I had not budgeted for, duh! Can anyone shed light on how much is reasonable for a new canopy to be fitted and that needs to be interlocked and have a gas cut off thingy. The current ventilation outlet is set into the ceiling and I would need a 4 meter canopy.

I also wondered whether it would make more sense to try and get a package deal from someone for the new equipment and canopy, including all fitting costs.

thanks for reading this!

It all depends on the size, so if you post some more details I will see what I can find out for you.

It's impossible to give a definitive price with out further detail, but to give you an idea, for a 4000mm x 1100mm x 600mm canopy with air input and interlock, complying with both DW172 and BS6173 you would be looking in the region of between £5000 and £7000!

Unfortunately you have to have air input and interlock for the gas regs, there are people who will fit systems that do not comply, beware of any quotes you get that seem cheap! more often then not it's because they are cutting corners and will leave you with a non compliant system that will get you waring notices or worse from any gas safe engineers!

For your information, to follow the regs to the letter you should have:- an extraction canopy with 300mm overhang all round, mechanical air input (85% of extract volume), a gas interlock system, a heater battery on the air input and silencers! You can get away with out silencers and a heater battery in most cases though.

What area are you? we would be happy to provide you with a quote for extraction and/or the equipment if you like.

We fell foul of this several years ago when we had a company fit a large canaopy that was not compliant. Luckily we had only paid 50% and managed to cancel the balance cheque before it was cashed. They did com back in the end and made some chnages free of charge.

I agree with you guys and have deleted all of Blair's posts. Why do people do this?
