London Oven Cleaners degreases extractor hoods for £28: mesh filters tank-soaked, fan housing wiped out, casing polished streak-free.
The extractor works every time you cook and filters out exactly what you would expect: airborne fat. It lands in the mesh, then the housing, then starts dripping back onto the hob when saturated. A hood that hums louder than it used to, or lets steam drift across the kitchen, is usually just blocked.
What we do to the hood
- Mesh grease filters out and into the heated tank, the same bath as oven racks
- Fan surround and inner housing degreased by hand
- Casing and glass canopy polished without streaks
- Carbon filters checked; we tell you if yours need replacing rather than cleaning
Can the metal filters go in a dishwasher?
Once lightly greased, yes, and it helps between visits. Heavily saturated mesh defeats a dishwasher: the fat has polymerised and needs the hot tank to break down. Recirculating hoods also carry carbon pads behind the mesh, and those are replace-only, not washable, which is the thing most owners have never been told.
When it is worth booking
As an add-on to an oven or hob clean, £28, adding perhaps twenty minutes since the filters share the tank. Yearly suits most kitchens; keen fryers should halve that. A commercial canopy over a working kitchen line is a different service with ducting involved, covered on the commercial kitchen page.
