Restore Effective Ventilation

A cooker hood must move air efficiently while handling grease, steam and heat. Weak performance does not always mean the motor has failed: saturated filters, a restricted duct, damaged fan or control problem can produce similar symptoms. We check both airflow and the electrical or mechanical components that create it.

Service covers common chimney, canopy, integrated, island and under-cabinet extractor hoods, whether ducted outside or configured for recirculation. Diagnosis can include grease and carbon filters, fan wheels, motors, switches, speed controls, lighting, wiring and accessible duct connections.

Common faults we repair

Fan does not run
Weak extraction
Motor is very noisy
Speed control not working
Hood lights have failed
Unit will not power on
Fan vibrates excessively
Switch or control faults

Disconnect power before removing filters or lamps. If the hood smells burnt, sparks, has melted controls or drips grease near the cooker, stop using it until it has been inspected and cleaned safely.

A careful, practical approach

What Happens During Your Repair

Diagnosis before parts

We establish whether the issue affects all speeds, a single function or airflow only. Filters and the visible air path are inspected before the fan, motor, switching and supply are tested. For ducted hoods, installation restrictions may need to be distinguished from an appliance fault. Findings are explained before repair.

Care between visits

Wash reusable grease filters or replace disposable ones at the interval recommended by the manufacturer. Recirculating carbon filters also need periodic replacement. Use the hood when cooking, keep steam away from controls and deal with fan imbalance or unusual motor noise early.

Share the symptoms

Tell us the brand, appliance type, location and what happens when you use it.

Arrange a visit

We confirm coverage and agree on a suitable doorstep appointment.

Inspect and explain

The appliance is tested and the findings are explained before approved work.

Repair and test

The completed repair is checked against the original fault before handover.

Extractor Hood Repair questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my extractor hood not pulling steam?

Dirty filters, an obstructed duct, incorrect recirculation setup, a damaged fan or weak motor can reduce airflow. The whole path needs checking.

Why is the hood suddenly noisy?

A loose filter, grease build-up, foreign object, unbalanced fan wheel, worn motor or mounting vibration may be responsible.

Do carbon filters need replacing?

Yes, on recirculating hoods they lose effectiveness over time. The replacement interval depends on the filter and cooking frequency.
