Selecting the Right Cooker Hood

• Size & coverage: Hood width should match your hob width; ideally wider for larger range cookers. 
• Extraction rate & kitchen volume: Calculate your kitchen’s air volume to select hood with suitable m³/h rating. 
• Ducted vs recirculating: If you have access to outside wall for ducting choose ducted; if not choose recirculating. 
• Installation height & ducting requirements: Ensure clearance above hob meets manufacturer spec; use correct diameter duct to reduce noise. 
• Style & finish: Match finishes with other appliances / kitchen design for trades or showrooms.
• Features & filters: Washable grease filters, if recirculating replace carbon filters, check noise level (dB) for open-plan kitchens.

FAQs

What are extractor hoods (or cooker hoods) and why do I need one?

An extractor hood is a unit mounted above the hob that removes steam, odours, grease and air-borne particles while you cook. It helps protect your kitchen surfaces and improve air quality.

Can I install a hood myself, or do I need a specialist?

DIY is possible for many hoods provided you can safely connect ducting/venting or set up recirculation. For complex duct runs, large island hoods or gas hob scenarios you might need a specialist. Always follow manufacturer and building-regulations advice.

• What are some common mistakes to avoid when fitting a cooker hood?
• Using undersized hood relative to hob width or kitchen size → poor extraction.
• Using flexible ducting with tight bends → reduces performance. 
• Installing too low above the hob → risk of damage or interference.
• Not matching finish/style → can look unprofessional on site.
