Commercial Kitchens

Range Hoods and Extraction

Custom stainless steel range hoods and extraction canopies for Wellington kitchens and food businesses.

About this service

Range hoods are too important to compromise on. They control heat, smoke and grease, and they sit in the most visible spot in the kitchen. We fabricate stainless range hoods and extraction canopies to fit your space, your equipment and your finish.

Range Hoods and Extraction

For residential kitchens, our most popular work is a fully custom over island or under cabinet hood that matches the joinery scribe and ceiling profile.

‍

Standard width hoods rarely fit the room they are dropped into. A custom stainless hood can run wall to wall, sit flush with the cabinetry, and read as part of the architecture.

‍

Commercial extraction canopies

For commercial kitchens we fabricate full extraction canopies in line with NZS 4303 and the local district plan, including grease filters, drip channels, lighting and fire suppression mounting points.

‍

Canopy length, depth and capture height are matched to the cooking equipment beneath them.

‍

Finish and handover

Whether we are building a sleek residential hood or a heavy duty industrial canopy, every weld is ground and polished.

‍

Every install is followed by a clean down and a handover sheet covering filter cleaning and basic care.

Frequently asked questions

Who makes custom stainless range hoods in Wellington?

The Fabricator. We fabricate residential range hoods and commercial extraction canopies in our Kāpiti Coast workshop and install across Wellington City, Porirua, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, the Kāpiti Coast and the Wairarapa, built to the room rather than dropped in from a catalogue.

‍

Can you build a hood to fit a non standard ceiling?

Yes. Sloped ceilings, exposed beams, services in the ceiling space, all of these can be designed around. The result is a hood that sits as if it was always meant to be there.

‍

Do you supply the extraction motor?

We can supply or work with your preferred mechanical contractor on motors, ducting and roof penetrations. The hood is one part of a balanced system.

‍

What about commercial code requirements?

We build commercial canopies to NZS 4303 and the relevant district plan rules for grease filtering and fire safety.
