Kitchen extractor and cooker hood cleaning throughout Worcestershire, for homes, holiday lets, landlords and commercial kitchens. Filters, canopy, fan and ducting cleaned in one visit.
The kitchens we see locally, how their hoods are used, and what to expect when we visit.
Worcester, Bromsgrove, Redditch and Kidderminster kitchens range from cottage chimney hoods over range cookers to visor hoods on modern estates. In older cottages with low ceilings the hood often sits closer to the hob, so the canopy greases up faster.
Family roasts and regular frying are the usual cause of grease build-up. Holiday cottages need the filters properly cleaned between busy weeks, not just the stainless steel wiped.
We visit village homes, farmhouses and town properties. If your hood sits under a sloping ceiling or over a tall range cooker, mention it so we bring suitable steps.
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 Worcestershire, a professional hood clean removes that build-up from the parts you can see and the parts you can't.
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 Worcestershire and check whichever part your hood relies on.
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.
Yes. The cooker needs to be cold when we arrive. We clean the hood, filters and chimney above it.
Yes. It's a recirculating hood, so we clean the grease filters and canopy and replace the charcoal filters.
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.
Yes. We clean canopies, baffle filters and accessible ductwork in restaurants, takeaways, pubs, hotels and other commercial kitchens, usually out of hours.
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.
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.
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.
