Cooker hoods

Cooker hoods are used to remove cooking smells, steam and grease from the kitchen. They help keep the air feeling fresh and surfaces cleaner, which is why they suit busy family kitchens, open plan spaces, and compact galley layouts alike. Available in wall mounted, island, integrated, and downdraft styles, cooker hoods come in a range of finishes from stainless steel to glass, black and white, so there is an option to match modern or traditional schemes. Practical features include adjustable fan speeds, built in lighting, and easy to remove, washable filters, making them a handy, everyday upgrade for a fitted kitchen.

By Type

Choosing the right extractor hood type is essential for creating an effective and comfortable cooking environment. Different kitchen layouts, ceiling heights and cooking habits all influence which extractor fan style will work best, whether you’re upgrading an existing kitchen hood or fitting out a brand new space. For a discreet and space‑saving solution, an integrated cooker hood sits neatly inside wall cabinets, making them ideal for modern or minimalist kitchens where you want ventilation without a visible focal point. More traditional layouts often suit a chimney cooker hood, which extends from the hob to the ceiling and offers strong extraction alongside a classic design.

Contemporary kitchens frequently benefit from an angled cooker hood. These provide powerful airflow while improving head clearance and adding a modern edge. Where cupboard space is limited, a canopy cooker hood and a telescopic cooker hood are a practical option, designed to fit beneath cabinets and extend only when needed. Larger kitchens and open‑plan layouts often require overhead ventilation. An island cooker hood is suspended from the ceiling to provide effective extraction above kitchen islands, while a curved cooker hood combines glass detailing with strong performance for a softer, more decorative finish. Whichever style you choose, maintaining your kitchen extractor is just as important. Regular replacement of a cooker hood filter helps keep airflow efficient and reduces lingering cooking odours. Exploring kitchen hood extractor options by type makes it easier to match performance, design and ongoing care to your kitchen’s needs.

By Colour

Choosing the right colour for your kitchen hood plays an important role in how your kitchen looks and feels. While performance is essential, the finish of your extractor fan can either blend seamlessly into your cabinetry or become a standout design feature above the hob. For contemporary kitchens, a black cooker hood remains one of the most popular choices. They work particularly well in modern interiors with dark worktops, handleless units or industrial-style finishes. Black extractor fans are available across multiple hood styles, making it easy to combine strong visual impact with effective ventilation. If you prefer a lighter or more classic look, a silver extractor hood offers a timeless option that pairs well with stainless steel appliances. Similarly, a white cooker hood is ideal for bright kitchens, helping to keep spaces feeling open and uncluttered while still providing reliable extraction.

Neutral kitchens often benefit from a grey extractor fan. Grey finishes sit comfortably between traditional and modern styles, complementing wood textures, stone worktops and soft colour palettes without overpowering the room. For kitchens where the extractor fan is designed to stand out, a black angled cooker hood combines bold styling with powerful airflow. This colour and shape pairing is especially popular in contemporary kitchens where design and performance are equally important. Browsing cooker extractor fan options by colour makes it easier to narrow down kitchen extractors that suit your overall aesthetic, without compromising on ventilation efficiency, lighting or long‑term durability.

By Brand

Choosing a cooker hood extractor by brand can help narrow down your options based on performance, design features and long‑term reliability. Whether you’re replacing an existing kitchen extractor or fitting out a new space, established brands offer a range of ventilation solutions to suit different cooking habits and layouts. For everyday kitchens, a Cooke & Lewis cooker hood is a popular choice, combining practical extraction with contemporary styling. These kitchen hoods are available in a range of formats, including integrated and chimney designs, making them easy to match with existing cabinetry. If you’re looking for advanced engineering and quiet operation, a Bosch cooker hood is known for efficient airflow and refined design. Similarly, a NEFF cooker hood offers premium kitchen ventilation options, particularly well suited to integrated and modern kitchen layouts.

Budget‑friendly yet reliable options are available from brands such as a Beko cooker hood and a SIA cooker hood, both offering efficient extractor fans that balance performance with value. These brands are ideal if you want dependable kitchen ventilation without compromising on essential features. For well‑known appliance brands, you can also explore an Electrolux cooker hood, Hoover cooker hood, Ignis cooker hood and a Ciarra cooker hood, each offering different approaches to kitchen extraction and design. Browsing kitchen extractor fan options by brand makes it easier to compare extractor fans based on features such as noise levels, lighting, filter compatibility and overall build quality, helping you choose the right kitchen hood for your home.

By Size

Choosing the correct cooker hood size is essential for effective kitchen ventilation. An extractor fan that is properly sized for your hob helps capture steam, grease and cooking odours more efficiently, improving air quality while keeping your kitchen comfortable during and after cooking. For standard cookers and compact kitchen layouts, a 60cm cooker hood is a common choice. These kitchen extractors are well suited to smaller hobs and fit neatly into tighter spaces without overwhelming the overall design. A 60cm extractor fan is ideal if you want reliable ventilation while maintaining a balanced, proportionate look.

Larger cooking areas often benefit from wider coverage. A 90cm extractor hood provides increased airflow and are particularly effective above range cookers or wider hobs. These cooker hoods help manage higher volumes of steam and odours, making them a popular choice for busy family kitchens or keen home cooks. If you’re looking for something between the two, a 80cm cooker hood offers a versatile solution. This size delivers broader extraction than standard models while remaining suitable for kitchens where space is limited. An 80cm kitchen extractor fan can be a practical compromise for medium‑sized hobs and open‑plan layouts. Each size option is available across a range of hood styles, including integrated, chimney and angled designs. Browsing cooker hoods by size makes it easier to find an extractor fan that matches your hob width, kitchen layout and ventilation needs, ensuring both effective performance and a cohesive finish.

FAQs

What size cooker hood do I need for my hob?

The best cooker hood size usually matches the width of your hob, or is slightly wider. This helps ensure steam, grease and cooking odours are captured effectively before they spread around the kitchen. For example, a 60cm hob typically pairs well with a 60cm extractor fan, while larger range cookers often benefit from a 90cm extractor fan. Choosing the correct size improves airflow efficiency and overall ventilation performance.

 

How often should cooker hood filters be replaced?

Grease filters should be cleaned regularly, usually every one to three months depending on how often you cook. Carbon filters, which are used in recirculating cooker hoods, typically need replacing every three to six months. Replacing filters on time helps maintain strong airflow, reduces lingering cooking odours and ensures your extractor fan continues to work efficiently over the long term.

 

Are integrated cooker hoods powerful enough?

Integrated cooker hoods can be very effective when they are correctly sized and installed. Although they are more discreet than chimney or island hoods, many modern integrated fans provide enough airflow for everyday cooking. Choosing the right extraction rate for your kitchen size and keeping filters clean are key to ensuring an integrated option performs well, particularly in smaller or enclosed spaces.

 

How noisy are cooker hoods?

Noise levels vary depending on the cooker hood type, extraction power and installation. Most extractor fans list their noise output in decibels, with lower numbers indicating quieter operation. Integrated and canopy hoods are often quieter at lower speeds, while more powerful chimney hoods may be louder at maximum settings. Choosing the right size hood and using appropriate speed settings helps minimise noise.

 

How high should a cooker hood be installed above the hob?

Most cooker hoods should be installed between 65 and 75cm above electric hobs and around 75cm above gas hobs. The exact height depends on the specific model and manufacturer guidelines. Installing your kitchen extractor fan at the correct height ensures effective ventilation, safe clearance while cooking and comfortable access to controls and lighting.

 

Can I replace my old cooker hood with a different type?

In many cases, you can replace an existing cooker hood with a different style, such as switching from a canopy to a chimney extractor. However, it’s important to consider ducting, cabinet space, electrical connections and overall dimensions. Checking these details before replacing your kitchen hood helps avoid installation issues and ensures the new extractor fan works effectively.
