Kitchen hood & extractor cleaning

Clear signs are that cooking smells linger in the kitchen after you finish, or the hood surface has turned sticky or yellow. If you see greasy drips from the edge of the filter, the filter is full and is starting to let through what it can no longer hold.

Hood grease removal means dealing with everything that has stuck to the inner body and the duct, not the filter alone. The filter is the first line that catches grease, but what gets past it builds on the duct walls. When you call, you describe what you notice and we agree on what your hood needs.

Clear shelves and surfaces near the hood and move pots and spices away. If the hood is fixed high up or needs access behind a cupboard, tell us when you call so we come prepared.

Cooker hood cleaning in ordinary cases starts with the filter and the inner body without fully removing the duct, and that is often enough for a home kitchen. If the duct is long or grease has built up for a long time, we agree on the right approach with you when you call.
