Extractor Hoods for sale
New extractor hoods from £149, delivered and installed across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire — with your old one taken away and recycled.
We supply and fit extractor hoods in every common format: chimney, integrated and telescopic, canopy, island, downdraft and ceiling-mounted, from Bosch, Neff, Siemens, Elica, AEG, Zanussi, Hotpoint, CDA, Lamona, Smeg and Faber. The decision that matters most is one people rarely think about at the point of purchase — the duct route. A brilliant hood on a poor duct performs worse than a modest hood on a good one, so that's where our advice starts. We survey the duct route before recommending anything: the diameter available, the length of run, the number of bends, and where the appliance can terminate externally. Where possible we'll specify rigid 150mm ducting over 100mm flexible, because the difference in real-world extraction is dramatic. Installation is by our own engineers: mounting the hood at the correct height above your hob, connecting and sealing the ducting, fitting a proper non-return flap and external terminal, assembling chimney sections, wiring to the fused spur, and testing airflow at every speed. For recirculating installations we fit the charcoal filters and show you the replacement interval. Your old hood is removed and taken for WEEE recycling at no extra charge, and we'll make good the immediate area where the old unit was mounted.
What we sell
Before you buy: is repairing cheaper?
Extractor hoods split by value like microwaves do. A basic canopy or visor hood costs £110–£180 new, which makes almost any motor or control repair uneconomic, and we'll tell you that honestly. A chimney, island, integrated or downdraft hood is a different matter: £350–£1,200 to replace, plus the ducting reconnection and making good the wall, ceiling or cabinetry — so a £110 call-out plus the part clears the 50% rule easily. Typical lifespan is 10 to 15 years, with the motor as the limiting component and its life determined largely by how hard it has worked against restricted airflow. Before replacing any hood, it's worth checking whether the real problem is the appliance at all. A very large share of the poor-extraction complaints we attend turn out to be saturated filters, an exhausted charcoal filter, a stuck external flap, or a duct run that was compromised when the kitchen was fitted. Buying a more powerful hood to overcome a bad duct is a common and expensive mistake — the duct simply throttles the new one too. Environmentally, a hood is a modest appliance but replacement often means disturbing ducting and cabinetry, generating far more waste than the appliance itself. Repairing and re-ducting properly is almost always the better outcome, and we'll set out both options with real numbers.

How to choose the right extractor hood
Extraction rate for your kitchen
Multiply your kitchen's volume in cubic metres by 10 to 12 air changes per hour to get a minimum m³/h figure — a 3m x 4m room with a 2.4m ceiling needs around 300–350 m³/h. Add substantially for a gas range or wok burner, where 600 m³/h or more is sensible. Buy on the ducted figure, not the recirculating one, which is always lower.
Ducted always beats recirculating
Ducted extraction removes steam, grease and odour from the building. Recirculating removes only odour, through a charcoal filter, and does nothing about moisture — which is why kitchens with recirculating hoods still get condensation. If any external wall or roof route exists, duct it. It's the single biggest performance decision you'll make.
Duct diameter and material
150mm rigid ducting massively outperforms 100mm flexible concertina hose — often by a factor of two or more in real airflow. Keep the run as short and straight as possible, and use swept bends rather than sharp elbows. Reducing a 150mm hood spigot to 100mm to fit through a cupboard is the most common way a good hood is ruined.
Width and mounting height
The hood should be at least as wide as the hob and ideally 100mm wider each side for better capture, so a 900mm hood over a 700mm hob genuinely performs better. Mount at 650–750mm above an electric or induction hob and at least 750mm above gas, checking the manufacturer's specified minimum.
Noise rating at working speed
Compare dB figures at speed two or three, not at boost, because that's where the hood actually spends its life. Under 55dB at normal speed is quiet, 60–65dB is typical, and above 68dB you'll find yourself not using it. Brushless DC motors are noticeably quieter than traditional shaded-pole motors at the same airflow.
Filter type and cleaning
Baffle filters in stainless steel are the most effective and the easiest to clean, and they're dishwasher-safe indefinitely. Multi-layer mesh filters are cheaper and work well but degrade after many dishwasher cycles. Whichever you choose, check they come out easily — a filter that's awkward to remove will never get cleaned.
Lighting quality
The hood is often the main task light over your hob, so it matters. Look for LED lighting with a warm-neutral colour temperature around 3,000–4,000K and, ideally, dimmable. Two or three well-placed LEDs beat a single bright one. Check the modules are replaceable rather than integral to the whole hood.
Style: chimney, integrated, island or downdraft
Chimney hoods are the most efficient per pound and the most common. Integrated and telescopic hoods hide in a wall unit and suit minimal kitchens at some cost to capture area. Island hoods need a ceiling duct route. Downdraft hoods solve island installations without an overhead unit, but cost more and extract less than an equivalent overhead hood.
Do you fit the hood, the ducting and take the old one away?
Yes, all of it. We mount the hood at the correct height, run and seal the ducting, fit a proper non-return flap and external terminal, assemble the chimney, wire to the fused spur and test airflow at every speed. The old hood goes for WEEE recycling and we make good the immediate mounting area.
Can you duct a hood in my kitchen, or will it have to recirculate?
We survey the route before recommending anything. Many kitchens people assume must recirculate actually have a viable short route to an external wall or through a roof. Where a duct genuinely isn't feasible we'll fit a recirculating setup properly, with the correct charcoal filters and an outlet path that doesn't blow back at the hob.
What size hood do I need?
At least as wide as your hob, ideally wider, with an extraction rate of roughly 10 to 12 times your kitchen's volume per hour — around 300–350 m³/h for a typical kitchen, and 600 m³/h or more if you have a gas range or wok burner. We'll work the figure out with you based on your actual room and hob.
Will you core a hole through the wall for the duct?
Where a new external penetration is needed we'll assess the wall construction and quote for the work, including the core drilling, ducting, external terminal and making good. On cavity walls we sleeve the duct properly through the cavity, which is important and frequently skipped.
How quickly can you supply and fit?
Stocked models are usually fitted within three to five working days across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. Installations involving new ducting or a wall penetration are booked with a longer slot and, where a survey is needed, arranged after that visit.
Do you supply replacement filters for hoods you've fitted?
Yes, and for hoods we haven't. We stock grease and charcoal filters for the main brands and can supply the correct type by model number. Charcoal filters need changing every three to six months, so it's worth setting up a routine when we fit the hood.
