kitchen extractor

hannahsmamma

I had one of these many years ago, it was a 'hood' that was fixed to the wall over the cooker and had a charcoal filter in that absorbed the cooking smells from the hob. You had to replace the filter periodically. You could also get a type that was 'vented' and all the smells went outside. My one was ok-ish but very noisey. Have they improved over the years? Am needing a new kitchen and thinking about getting one again.

yes they are more effective now and the filters are easier to fit and less expensive but they are, by their nature, still noisey. we've just had a brand new one fitted above our hob.

ours is similar to this

if you are having a new kitchen fitted you will require mech ventalation to outside anyway to comply with the regs, it could be a extractor or a fan in the wall/ceiling

If its a refit without BC you can use charcoal filters

Spot on sir!

yes of course if you aren't going through building regs then the two above are correct
