Commercial Extractor Fans

Our commercial extractor fans cover the full range of applications — from kitchen canopies and restaurant extraction to office ventilation, plant rooms, and heavy industrial environments. We stock axial fans, plate fans, inline duct fans, roof fans, and twin fans from leading brands including Systemair, Vent-Axia, S&P, and Elta, all built for continuous-duty commercial and industrial use.

The range includes axial fans, plate fans, inline duct fans, roof-mounted extract fans, box fans, and twin fan units. Available in single-phase and three-phase configurations from 100mm to 900mm, with airflow rates from 180 m³/h up to 45,000+ m³/h for large industrial extraction. IP-rated options are available for damp, dusty, or high-temperature environments including workshops, manufacturing facilities, and plant rooms.

Whether you need a compact inline fan for an office ceiling void, a cased axial for a mechanical services riser, or a large industrial extractor fan for a warehouse — we carry the stock and can deliver next working day on most items.

Axial Fans / Roof Fans / Thermo Fans / Twin Fans

What's the difference between a commercial and domestic extractor fan?

Commercial extractor fans are engineered for continuous or near-continuous operation, higher airflow volumes, and greater motor durability. They're typically rated for longer run times, higher ambient temperatures, and harsher environments — making them suitable for professional kitchens, workshops, warehouses, schools, and public buildings. Domestic fans, by contrast, are designed for intermittent use in bathrooms and kitchens at lower airflow rates. If you're looking for a domestic option, see our bathroom extractor fans.

What type of commercial fan do I need for a kitchen?

For commercial kitchen extraction, you'll typically need a high-temperature rated cased axial or centrifugal fan with appropriate IP ratings for damp or greasy environments. See our dedicated commercial kitchen extractor fans collection for suitable options.

What size commercial extractor fan do I need?

Sizing depends on the room volume, required air changes per hour, and the type of activity taking place. As a rough guide: offices typically require 6–10 air changes per hour, commercial kitchens 20–30, workshops and light industrial spaces 10–15, and warehouses 6–10. Multiply your room volume (length × width × height in metres) by the required air changes to get the airflow rate in m³/h, then choose a fan that meets or exceeds that figure. Our team can help with sizing — get in touch if you need advice.

Can I get next day delivery on commercial fans?

Yes — most commercial fans in our range are held in stock and available for next working day delivery on orders placed before 12pm Monday to Thursday

Do you stock three-phase commercial fans?

Yes — we carry a wide selection of three-phase commercial and industrial fans from Systemair, S&P, Elta, and Hydor. Three-phase motors are more efficient at higher power outputs and are standard for larger fan sizes (typically 315mm and above). Use the "Phase 3" filter on this page to view available options.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between axial and inline commercial extractor fans?

Axial fans move air in a straight line and suit short duct runs, wall/ceiling mounting, and high‑volume airflow. Inline fans sit inside ductwork and are better for longer runs, ceiling voids, and quieter operation. Mixed flow inline fans add higher pressure for more complex systems.

Are commercial extractor fans suitable for industrial environments?

Yes. Industrial‑rated extractors handle dust, heat, fumes, moisture, and continuous operation in warehouses, workshops, manufacturing areas, and plant rooms. They’re built for higher duty and tougher conditions than domestic units.

Do commercial extractor fans need ducting?

Not always. Wall‑mounted axial and plate fans can often exhaust directly outside. Inline, roof‑mounted, twin fan, and box units usually need ducting, especially in offices, plant rooms, and ceiling voids where direct discharge isn’t possible. Proper ducting improves performance, reduces noise, and maintains efficient airflow.
