What is a chimney cooker hood?

A chimney cooker hood is a wall-mounted kitchen extractor fitted directly above the hob. It has a distinctive chimney-style column that runs from the hood unit up to the ceiling or soffit, concealing the ductwork or electrical cable inside. Chimney hoods are the most popular type of cooker hood in London kitchens — they are powerful, visually striking, available in a wide range of finishes including stainless steel, black and white, and suit all kitchen styles from modern to traditional.

Chimney hoods work in two ways. In ducted mode, cooking fumes and steam are extracted through a duct in the wall to the outside — this gives the best extraction performance. In recirculating mode, air is passed through grease filters and charcoal carbon filters and returned clean to the kitchen — ideal when external wall ducting is not possible in your London property.

Ducted vs recirculating chimney hood — which is right for your London property?

The right installation method depends on your London property layout:

• Ducted chimney hood — duct pipe goes through an external wall to outside. Best extraction performance. Removes moisture, grease and odours completely. Requires a wall core drill if no existing duct. Best for houses and ground floor flats in London.
• Recirculating chimney hood — no wall duct needed. Air filtered through charcoal carbon filters and returned to kitchen. Easier installation, no external wall access needed. Ideal for London flats and apartments, upper floor properties, or kitchens on internal walls. Charcoal filters need replacing every 3-6 months.

We install chimney hoods in both modes across all London areas. We advise on the best option for your property when you book.

What size chimney hood do I need in London?

As a general rule, your chimney hood should be the same width or wider than your hob for effective extraction. For a standard 60cm gas hob — a 60cm chimney hood is the minimum. For a 90cm range cooker or hob — a 90cm chimney hood is required for proper coverage. For a 50cm hob in a smaller London kitchen — a 50cm chimney hood is the correct size. We confirm the ideal size for your kitchen and hob when you book your London installation.

Chimney hood installation height — how high above the hob?

The correct mounting height for a chimney hood above the hob is critical for both safety and extraction performance. The standard recommended height is 65cm to 75cm above the hob surface for gas hobs. Installing too low creates a fire hazard. Installing too high reduces extraction efficiency significantly. Our engineers mount every chimney hood at the correct height to manufacturer specification during every London installation.
