A visor hood is the most affordable and fastest cooker hood to install in London — there is no chimney column to assemble, no wall mounting bracket high on the wall and the installation is completed in under 1.5 hours in most London properties.

What is a visor cooker hood?

A visor hood (also called a pull-out hood or telescopic hood) is a compact cooker hood that fits underneath an existing wall cabinet directly above the hob. The hood unit screws to the underside of the cabinet. At the front of the unit is a pull-out visor panel — a slanted extraction panel that slides forward and out over the hob when cooking, capturing steam, grease and fumes. When cooking is finished, the visor slides back neatly under the cabinet, keeping the kitchen looking tidy and uncluttered.

Visor hoods are ideal for London flats, smaller kitchens and period properties where there is already a wall cabinet above the hob and limited ceiling height or wall space above. They are the most compact and discreet cooker hood type available — delivering solid extraction performance in a minimal footprint.

Do I need a wall cabinet to install a visor hood in London?

Yes. A visor hood must be installed underneath an existing wall cabinet directly above the hob. The hood body attaches to the underside of the cabinet. The cabinet provides the structural support and also conceals the motor housing, filters and electrical connection inside. If your London kitchen does not have a wall cabinet above the hob, a chimney hood or built-in hood would be more suitable — our engineers can advise when you book.

Visor hood — ducted or recirculating in London?

Most visor hoods in London properties operate in recirculating mode — air is drawn through a grease filter and then through a charcoal carbon filter, cleaned and returned to the kitchen. No wall duct or core drill is required, making installation straightforward even in London flats and upper floor apartments.

Some visor hood models can also be ducted to outside if there is accessible ductwork inside the cabinet above — typically possible in London houses where the cabinet is on an external wall. Ducted mode gives better overall extraction performance but is less common for visor hood installations. Our engineers assess and advise when you book.

Visor hood vs chimney hood — which is right for your London kitchen?

The right choice depends on your London kitchen layout:

• Choose a visor hood if you have an existing wall cabinet directly above the hob, want a compact and discreet look, and need a budget-friendly and fast installation
• Choose a chimney hood if you have no wall cabinet above the hob, want a more powerful extraction system, or prefer a visually prominent statement piece in the kitchen
• Choose a built-in hood if you want the extractor completely hidden inside a cabinet with nothing visible at all
