Professional Extractor Hood Cleaning

Most extractor hoods have stainless steel or aluminium grease filters. In most cases, these filters don't need replacing — they simply need a thorough professional extractor cleaning.

The filters usually have a wire-mesh appearance, which is designed to trap grease, fat and cooking residue. They normally slide or pull out easily, allowing our Oven Ready extractor cleaning team to remove them for deep cleaning.


Deep Cleaning Extractor Filters

At Oven Ready, we place removable extractor filters into the heated dip tank inside our specialist cleaning vans. The heat and professional cleaning solution help break down even stubborn, baked-on grease and fat.

Once thoroughly cleaned, the filters are rinsed using a powerful water jet, dried and carefully put back into the extractor hood.

This process helps restore the appearance of your extractor and removes the grease and residue that can build up over time.


Built-In & Pull-Out Extractors

Built-in and pull-out extractor units can often use paper grease filters, sometimes combined with a carbon filter.

As part of our professional extractor cleaning service, we can replace disposable paper filters where required. Our replacement filter paper changes colour as it becomes coated with grease, providing a useful indication of when the filter needs replacing again.


Why Does an Extractor Get So Greasy?

Extractor hoods work hard to remove steam, grease and cooking fumes from your kitchen. Over time, this residue can build up both inside and outside the extractor.

Even when the extractor isn't running, steam and cooking vapours can rise into the extractor area. The residue then cools, dries and gradually forms layers of sticky grease and fat.

This is why simply wiping the outside of an extractor hood isn't enough.

At Oven Ready, we use professional degreasing products and specialist cleaning equipment to tackle the grease and grime that household cleaning products often struggle with.
