Ventilation

Following the Banning of smoking to all public spaces the Ventilation Industry in the UK was decimated. This was a short sighted move by the Restaurateurs and Publicans borne out of desperation and brought about by dire state of the entertaining Industry.

The lack of Ventilation will need to be addressed, if you replace cigarette odours with Human body odour and stale alcohol odours it is clear that ventilation is required to public areas.

An Air change in public areas is absolutely essential for the well being of the clients.

Obviously, Kitchen Ventilation is the primary application, we supply and install Cooking Canopies to all types of Commercial and residential applications ranging from top quality fine dining establishments like:

To mention but a few.

We have successfully installed Ventilation systems for Restaurateurs such as Gordon Ramsay, Heston Blumenthal, Sir Terence Conran, Chris and Jeff Galvin, D and D London, Ed Wilson and many more, most of these were part of a full refurb and/or new installations.

Our Kitchen Ventilation Systems comply with CIBSE recommendation and DW172 Kitchen Ventilation Designers manual which form the backbone for the kitchen Ventilation systems.

All the equipment specified by Summit Design has over 50 years of collective experience behind it; the materials used are all top quality.

We have systems installed some 15 years ago that are still running and providing that they are looked after and cleaned regularly will last for more years to come.

We are proud of the longevity, efficiency and reliability of the systems installed by us.

All Kitchen Extract fans used are high efficiency, robust in construction and easily cleaned, a must in a heavily grease laden environment. Inverters or Fan Speed Controllers are a must for energy efficiency and are now a legal requirement under the Part L regulations.

Summit Design Ltd has installed a vast number of systems ranging from simple extract only to heat reclaim and fresh air supply systems primarily in bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants.

Smoke Extract systems for Section 20 buildings is also an area we have particular experience.
Systems can comply with any Fire Officer, BAA or Local Authority requirements.

An increasing number of Local Authorities are insisting on odour control to kitchen extract systems due the danger of Odour nuisances to local residence.

Odour Control can take many forms; we have installed carbon filters, Electrostatic precipitators and odour neutralisers and well as the latest UV odour removal system and water wash filters.

It is now also a legal requirement for all new commercial kitchen installations to be fitted with a forced, filtered fresh air system to replace the air removed by the extract.

Another legal requirement recently implemented is an integrated gas control system linked into the extract system to ensure that new commercial kitchens cannot operate when the extract is not operating.

Summit Design Ltd has designed and developed a control system especially for this purpose which conforms to BS 6163.
