Another of Canopy UK recirculation units is being installed at Roxy Ball Room — this time right in the heart of Holborn. Roxy Ball Room continues to choose our recirculation canopies for sites across the UK and Ireland, and there are several reasons why.
Why do Roxy Ball Room use Canopy UK recirculation units and canopies?
Our recirculation units are designed for practicality, reliability and ease of use:
- Easy maintenance — Filters are simple to access and replace, ensuring smooth ongoing operation.
- Strong, well‑assembled construction — Built for durability in busy commercial environments.
- Flexible installation — Units can be relocated to a different area if the layout of the venue changes.
- Proven reliability — With installations from Scotland to the South Coast, across Northern Ireland and soon Southern Ireland, Roxy Ball Room trusts our systems to perform consistently.
Do Roxy Ball Room need planning permission to install a recirculation unit?
No. Because these are recirculation units, there is no ducting to the outside, meaning planning permission is not required. However, it is important to note that recirculation systems are suitable only for electric cooking equipment. Gas appliances cannot be used under a recirculation canopy.
Is this system right for me?
Yes — if you cook using electric equipment and are not producing large amounts of grease or heavy deep‑fat frying, a recirculation unit is an excellent option.
The major benefit: No planning permission required. If your premises are in a conservation area, a recirculation system may be the only viable solution.
Additional FAQs
How often do the filters need changing?
Filters should be changed regularly depending on usage. Most sites follow a monthly or quarterly schedule to maintain peak performance.
Can the unit be moved if my kitchen layout changes?
Yes. One of the advantages of our recirculation units is that they can be relocated without major building work.
Does the system reduce odours?
Yes. The multi‑stage filtration system significantly reduces cooking odours, making it ideal for venues where external ducting is not possible.
What cooking equipment is suitable?
Electric grills, ovens, induction hobs, and light‑to‑medium cooking appliances. Heavy frying or high‑grease operations may require a traditional ducted system.
Is the canopy itself different from a standard canopy?
No — the canopy is a standard commercial canopy. The difference lies in the recirculation unit mounted next to it.
