Cooker hood installation in London — 3 types, all sizes, fixed prices
A correctly installed cooker hood is essential in every London kitchen. It removes cooking fumes, excess moisture, grease particles, steam and odours from the air above your hob — protecting your kitchen surfaces, reducing condensation and improving air quality. Our professional engineers install all three main types of cooker hood across every London postcode: chimney hoods, visor hoods and built-in integrated hoods. All installations come with a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Choosing the right type of cooker hood depends on your kitchen layout, whether you have a wall cabinet directly above the hob, the style of your kitchen and whether external wall ducting is possible in your London property. This page covers all three types in full — so you can select the right hood and get an instant fixed price for your London installation.
The 3 types of cooker hood installed in London — at a glance
Every London kitchen is different. A large Victorian terrace in Hackney has different ceiling heights, cabinet layouts and wall access compared to a compact flat in Fulham or a period conversion in Islington. The three types of cooker hood we install cover every scenario:
- Visor hood (pull-out hood) — fits underneath an existing wall cabinet. Pull-out visor panel extends over hob when cooking. Most compact, most affordable, fastest to install. From £80. Best for London flats and smaller kitchens.
- Chimney hood — wall-mounted standalone unit with a visible chimney column running to the ceiling. Most powerful extraction. No wall cabinet required above hob. From £100. Best for London houses and kitchens without a cabinet above the hob.
- Built-in / integrated hood — completely concealed inside a wall cabinet. Nothing visible from the kitchen. Motor hidden inside cabinet, extraction via duct or recirculating filters. From £120. Best for premium London kitchen fits where a minimal, uncluttered look is required.
A visor hood (also called a pull-out hood or telescopic hood) is a compact extractor that mounts to the underside of an existing wall cabinet directly above the hob. The hood body sits flush inside the cabinet. At the front is a pull-out visor panel — a slanted extraction surface that slides forward over the hob during cooking and slides back neatly when not in use.
Visor hoods are the most popular choice for London flats — they require no chimney column, no high wall mounting and usually no wall drilling. Most London flats already have a wall cabinet above the hob, making visor hood installation straightforward and fast. Visor hoods typically operate in recirculating mode — air passes through grease and charcoal carbon filters and is returned clean to the kitchen, with no need for external wall ducting.
Installation time: 45 minutes to 1.5 hours — the fastest cooker hood installation type in London.
- London flats with existing wall cabinet above hob
- Smaller kitchens with limited space above hob
- Upper floor apartments — no external wall access needed
- Landlords fitting out rental properties quickly
- Budget-conscious installations

| Size | Installation price | Old hood removal | Total with removal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50cm visor hood | £80 | +£25 | £105 |
| 60cm visor hood MOST POPULAR | £100 | +£25 | £125 |
| 90cm visor hood | £130 | +£25 | £155 |
A chimney hood is a wall-mounted cooker hood with a distinctive chimney-style column that extends from the hood unit up to the ceiling or soffit, concealing the ductwork or electrical cable inside. Chimney hoods are the most popular cooker hood type in London kitchens — they are visually striking, powerful and available in a wide range of finishes including stainless steel, black, white and copper.
Chimney hoods do not require a wall cabinet above the hob — the hood is mounted directly to the wall, making them suitable for open-plan London kitchens and properties where the hob is on a wall with no overhead storage. They can operate in ducted mode (air extracted outside through a wall duct for best performance) or recirculating mode (air filtered and returned to kitchen — no wall duct needed).
Installation time: 1 to 2 hours for a like-for-like replacement. 2 to 3 hours if new wall ducting is required.

- Open-plan kitchen designs
- Properties where powerful extraction is needed
- Houses where ducted installation to outside is possible
- Kitchens where the hood is a design feature
- Range cooker installations (90cm+ hood)
- London houses with high ceilings
| Size | Installation price | Old hood removal | New wall duct/drill |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50cm chimney hood | £100 | +£25 | +£60 |
| 60cm chimney hood MOST COMMON | £120 | +£25 | +£60 |
| 90cm+ chimney hood | £150 | +£25 | +£60 |
A built-in hood (also called an integrated hood or concealed hood) is the most discreet type of cooker hood available. The entire hood unit — motor, filters, fan and controls — is completely concealed inside a wall cabinet above the hob. From the kitchen, nothing is visible: the hood is hidden behind the cabinet door, which opens or slides to reveal the extraction panel underneath when cooking.
Built-in hoods require a specifically sized wall cabinet with the correct internal dimensions to house the hood unit. They are the premium choice for London kitchen renovations where a completely clean, minimal look is desired — popular in high-specification kitchens in Chelsea, Kensington, Fulham, Dulwich and Islington where kitchen design is a priority. Built-in hoods can be configured for ducted or recirculating extraction.
Installation time: 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on cabinet configuration and whether ducting is required.
