Extractor Hood Cleaning Services

Is your extractor hood working efficiently? At The Sparkle Gang, we specialise in extractor hood cleaning that restores your kitchen ventilation while eliminating dangerous fire hazards.

Why Professional Extractor Hood Cleaning Matters

Your kitchen extractor fan works tirelessly to remove cooking odours, steam, and airborne grease, However, this essential fixture requires regular maintenance:

  • Significant fire risk: According to the UK's Fire and Rescue Service, kitchen appliances cause 48% of accidental house fires, with grease build-up in extractor hood and extractor fan systems being a key contributor.
  • Poor performance: Studies show that a grease-laden extractor fan can lose up to 60% of its suction power. If your cooker hood works less effectively than before, it's likely due to grease building in the system.
  • Indoor air quality issues: The UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs warns that indoor air pollution from cooking can exceed outdoor levels when extractor fans are clogged or ineffective.
  • Health implications: A hood with grease filters that haven't been cleaned becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, affecting your kitchen's air quality.

Despite these risks, only 1 in 5 homeowners clean their extractor hood filters every 6 months, and a shocking 15% admit they've never cleaned them at all. This is why knowing  how to clean a kitchen hood extractor is essential.

Recommended Cleaning Schedule

Based on typical usage patterns, we recommend:

  • Professional deep cleaning every 6-12 months for home kitchens
  • More frequent cleaning for kitchens with heavy daily use
  • Regular cleaning of extractor fan filters between professional visits

Between our visits, you can maintain performance by using household glass cleaner on the exterior of your extractor hood and gently scrubbing accessible metal filters with warm water and washing-up liquid. However, for a professional deep clean, you may wonder how much does kitchen extraction cleaning cost, which can vary depending on the level of service required.
