Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Hoods Lismore
Commercial kitchen exhaust hoods, kitchen exhaust fans, range hood installation and stainless steel canopies for hospitality venues, food production spaces and commercial fit-outs across Lismore and the Northern Rivers.
Sidney & Hacking builds practical commercial exhaust hood and canopy systems around the actual cooking line, not just a catalogue size. The result is stronger kitchen ventilation, easier cleaning access and stainless steel work that suits the space.
Commercial kitchen exhaust built around the space
Hoods, canopies and fans that fit the kitchen
Commercial kitchen exhaust is not a bolt-on afterthought. The hood, canopy, kitchen exhaust fan, duct path and stainless work all need to suit the cooking line, heat load, ceiling space and the way staff actually move through the kitchen.
Sidney & Hacking fabricates stainless steel exhaust hoods and canopies in-house, then coordinates the surrounding sheet metal fabrication, plumbing and gas work needed for a practical commercial kitchen fit-out.
That matters because commercial range hood installation is more than hanging a hood over appliances. A kitchen exhaust hood has to capture heat, steam, grease and smoke at the source, while the exhaust fan and ducting have to move air without creating noise, draughts or service problems.
For cafes, restaurants, clubs, takeaway shops and food production areas, the exhaust canopy often needs to work with splashbacks, benches, gas appliances, plumbing penetrations, ceiling height and fire-safe clearances. Building the stainless steel exhaust hood locally gives the fit-out room to solve those details properly.
The goal is simple: clean airflow, durable stainless surfaces, safe appliance clearances and a commercial kitchen ventilation setup that can be cleaned, serviced and worked around without fighting the kitchen every day.
Why commercial kitchens choose Sidney & Hacking
Commercial exhaust work usually starts with a practical problem: the hood is not capturing enough heat or smoke, the fan is underperforming, the canopy is difficult to clean, or a new food premises needs stainless steel exhaust work before trade starts.
For commercial kitchens, the buying intent is usually practical: the existing range hood is not coping, the exhaust fan is underperforming, the canopy is hard to clean, or a new food premises needs stainless steel exhaust work before it can trade. Sidney & Hacking can quote the fabrication with the surrounding trade work in mind.
Stainless canopy fabrication
Custom stainless steel hoods, commercial kitchen canopies and exhaust canopies built to suit the cooking line, wall layout, ceiling height, appliance clearances and cleaning access.
Fan and airflow planning
Kitchen exhaust fans need to move enough air without making the kitchen harder to work in. Fan position, hood capture, duct path, noise and service access are considered together.
Built for commercial kitchens
Suitable for cafes, restaurants, pubs, clubs, takeaway kitchens, bakeries, production areas and commercial food prep spaces that need reliable exhaust ventilation.
Metal, plumbing and gas in one job
The same team can coordinate metal fabrication, plumbing, drainage and gas connections around the exhaust hood or kitchen fit-out.
Local fabrication support
Fabrication happens locally in Lismore, so changes, repairs, range hood alterations and follow-up stainless steel work are easier than waiting on distant suppliers.

Commercial exhaust hood questions
Planning a new kitchen exhaust hood, commercial kitchen exhaust fan upgrade, commercial range hood installation or stainless canopy? These are the common questions before quoting the work.
Do you build new exhaust hoods or upgrade existing systems?
Yes. Sidney & Hacking can fabricate new stainless steel exhaust hoods and canopies, or help upgrade sections of an existing kitchen where the layout, kitchen exhaust fan performance or stainless work is no longer doing the job. This can include a new commercial exhaust hood, canopy alteration, range hood replacement, fan coordination or supporting stainless steel fabrication.
Can you fabricate a canopy to suit existing cooking equipment?
Yes. The hood or canopy can be built around the cooking line, wall position, appliance clearances, existing stainless benches, splashbacks and available duct path. That is the advantage of using an in-house fabrication team instead of trying to force a generic kitchen exhaust hood or off-the-shelf canopy into the space.
Do you handle the surrounding plumbing and gas work?
Yes. Where the fit-out needs plumbing, drainage, gas connections or other trade coordination, Sidney & Hacking can keep those pieces tied together instead of leaving the client to manage separate contractors. That is especially useful when the exhaust canopy, range hood installation, appliance layout and wet areas all need to land in the same commercial kitchen footprint.
Get the exhaust hood sorted before the kitchen gets busy
A weak exhaust setup turns into heat, smoke, grease build-up and frustrated staff. If the hood, fan or stainless canopy needs replacing or the kitchen layout is changing, Sidney & Hacking can fabricate and install a practical system that suits the space.
Bring through the appliance layout, rough kitchen dimensions, photos of the existing exhaust hood or canopy, and any notes from the builder or certifier. From there the team can work through the stainless steel exhaust hood, commercial kitchen canopy, kitchen exhaust fan and nearby trade work as one connected job.
