Some stainless steel components can be modified or repaired, depending on their condition, construction and intended use. An existing worktop may be suitable for adjustment, while badly damaged, corroded or unsuitable items may be better replaced. Canary Gas can inspect the component and explain whether alteration is likely to provide a durable result. Changes must be planned carefully because cutting or welding can affect dimensions, joints, finishes and the way an item fits alongside surrounding equipment. Where replacement is recommended, we can measure the area and produce a new component designed around the current kitchen layout and operational requirements.
Bespoke Fabrication for Commercial Catering Environments
Standard-sized catering furniture and ventilation components do not suit every professional kitchen. Older buildings, compact preparation areas and unusual room layouts can leave gaps, restrict access or prevent off-the-shelf products from fitting correctly.
Canary Gas Ltd provides bespoke stainless steel fabrication tailored to the dimensions and operational requirements of commercial catering premises. We can manufacture individual items or coordinate several fabricated components as part of a complete kitchen installation.
Our work can include stainless steel worktops, preparation tables, shelving, splashbacks, sink units, equipment stands, extraction canopies, plenums and specialist ductwork. The precise design, dimensions and finish are agreed according to the intended use and surrounding equipment.
Bespoke fabrication enables businesses to make better use of difficult spaces while creating a more cohesive kitchen layout. Components can be designed to fit around walls, columns, service routes and existing appliances without introducing unnecessary gaps or inaccessible areas.

Stainless Steel Worktops, Sinks and Storage
Preparation surfaces, washing areas and storage equipment must withstand frequent use, cleaning, heat, moisture and accidental impact. Stainless steel is widely used in professional kitchens because it offers a durable, non-porous surface that can be cleaned effectively when maintained correctly.
Canary Gas can fabricate worktops and preparation tables to suit the available space and intended working height. Designs can be coordinated with undershelves, upstands, sinks, equipment stands and other features required by the catering operation.
Bespoke shelving can make use of wall areas or restricted spaces where standard products would be too large or leave valuable storage capacity unused. Splashbacks and wall coverings can also be manufactured to protect surfaces behind cooking, preparation and washing areas.
Every item is planned around how staff will use the kitchen. We consider equipment positions, movement routes, cleaning access and adjoining surfaces before fabrication begins. This helps create a layout that supports efficient food preparation while avoiding components that obstruct doors, controls or essential services.

Custom Extraction Canopies and Ductwork
Stainless steel fabrication plays an important role in commercial kitchen ventilation. Extraction canopies must provide suitable coverage over the cooking equipment while fitting within the dimensions and restrictions of the premises.
Canary Gas manufactures bespoke canopies, plenums, ductwork and specialist ventilation components in-house. This allows each section to be designed around the cooking line, ceiling height and proposed duct route rather than relying entirely on standard components.
Our commercial kitchen extraction engineers can coordinate fabrication with fan selection, filtration, airflow controls and replacement air requirements. Designing these components as part of the complete system helps ensure the finished extraction arrangement is suitable for the kitchen.
Custom ductwork can also help navigate structural obstacles or limited service spaces. Where additional filtration is required, fabricated sections can be planned around the selected odour control system and the available maintenance access.
Why Choose Canary Gas for Stainless Steel Fabrication?
Canary Gas combines commercial catering experience with specialist sheet metal and welding expertise. Our founder is a time-served sheet metal worker and coded welder with a background in aerospace fabrication, bringing precision and detailed workmanship to each project.
We fabricate many of our canopies, ductwork sections, plenums and specialist kitchen components in-house. This gives us greater control over dimensions, manufacturing quality and coordination with the final installation.
Our knowledge extends beyond fabrication to commercial gas, kitchen equipment and ventilation systems. This enables us to design components that fit into the complete working environment rather than treating each item as an isolated product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Canary Gas can manufacture a range of components for professional kitchens, including worktops, preparation tables, shelving, splashbacks, sink units, equipment stands, extraction canopies, plenums and specialist ductwork. The items available for a particular project depend on their intended purpose, dimensions, installation position and required finish. We can fabricate individual replacement components or coordinate several items for a new kitchen or refurbishment. During the initial assessment, we establish how staff will use the area, which equipment will be positioned nearby and whether access is required for services or future maintenance. This information helps us create components that fit correctly and support the kitchen’s daily operation.
Stainless steel is suited to professional catering environments because it is durable, resistant to corrosion and capable of withstanding regular cleaning. Its smooth, non-porous surface can support hygienic food preparation when cleaned and maintained correctly. It also provides a consistent professional finish across worktops, tables, splashbacks, shelving and extraction canopies. The appropriate material thickness, grade and finish will depend on how the fabricated item will be used. A preparation surface, sink unit and ventilation component may each have different requirements. Bespoke fabrication allows the material and design to be selected for the specific application rather than relying on a generic product.
Yes. Bespoke fabrication is particularly useful when adapting or refurbishing an existing commercial kitchen. Canary Gas can measure the available area and manufacture components that fit around existing appliances, walls, columns, pipework and other fixed features. This can help businesses replace damaged items, improve preparation space or introduce additional storage without redesigning the entire kitchen. We will assess whether the proposed component can be installed safely and whether adjoining equipment or services need to be moved. Where alterations involve gas-fired appliances, our commercial engineers can ensure that relevant gas connections and safety requirements are considered before the new fabricated item is installed.
