Why grease build-up matters

Every time you cook, fat vapour rises into the cooker hood and condenses on the filters, canopy and fan. Over months it turns from a light film into a sticky layer that slows the motor, drips back onto the hob and becomes a fire risk. In Weston-super-Mare, a professional hood clean removes that build-up from the parts you can see and the parts you can't.

Ducted and recirculating hoods in Weston-super-Mare

A ducted cooker hood sends air outside through a wall or roof vent, so the ducting and outside flap need to stay clear. A recirculating hood filters air through charcoal and returns it to the kitchen, so the carbon filters need replacing regularly. We clean both types across Weston-super-Mare and check whichever part your hood relies on.

Clean, repair or replace?

Most cooker hoods that seem to have stopped working only need a thorough clean. If the motor bearings are worn, the fan blades are damaged or the stainless steel has been etched by harsh cleaners, we'll explain what a clean can and can't fix so you can decide whether replacing the hood makes more sense.

Cooker hood cleaning FAQs for Weston-super-Mare, Somerset

Is a guest house hood a domestic or commercial clean?

A domestic hood over a family-size hob is a standard clean. A canopy over a breakfast cooking line is closer to a commercial extract clean.

Can you clean a recirculating hood in a Weston flat?

Yes. We clean the filters and canopy and replace the charcoal.

How often should a cooker hood be cleaned?

For a household that fries most days, two to four professional cleans a year with monthly filter washing keeps the hood working well. Lighter use can go six to twelve months between cleans.

Do you clean commercial kitchen extraction?

Yes. We clean canopies, baffle filters and accessible ductwork in restaurants, takeaways, pubs, hotels and other commercial kitchens, usually out of hours.

Are your cleaning products safe for a kitchen?

Yes. We use food-safe, kitchen-grade degreasers, keep them away from food preparation surfaces and rinse every cleaned part before it goes back in.

Can I clean my cooker hood myself?

You can wash mesh filters and wipe the outside regularly. The canopy underside, chimney joints, fan and ducting are harder to reach and are where most of the grease ends up, which is what a professional clean covers.

How much does cooker hood cleaning cost?

The price depends on the type and size of hood, how much grease has built up, access height and whether any filters need replacing. Send us the details and a photo and we'll send a written quote.
