Grease accumulation, filter blockage and reduced airflow build up gradually with regular cooking, especially with oil-heavy or high-smoke dishes. Left unaddressed, this can lead to weaker suction, lingering kitchen odour and smoke that doesn't clear as quickly as it should.
Depending on the chimney's design and condition, a cleaning service may include inspection, filter cleaning, grease removal, internal and external cleaning, and a functional check afterwards.
Basic Cleaning vs. Deep Cleaning
Basic cleaning typically addresses visible grease and filter buildup on the surface and easily accessible parts. Deep cleaning goes further, addressing internal components where grease has accumulated over a longer period. A technician can advise which applies to your chimney after inspecting it.
Signs Your Chimney May Need Cleaning
Reduced suction or weaker airflow while cooking
Smoke lingering in the kitchen longer than usual
Visible grease buildup on filters or the chimney body
Persistent kitchen odour after cooking
It's been a while since the last cleaning or service
Several different issues can produce similar symptoms in a kitchen chimney, so an in-person inspection is generally the most reliable way to identify the actual cause before any repair is carried out.
Common Chimney Problems We Look Into
Chimney not working or not turning on
Motor not working or underperforming
Fan or blower issues
Chimney making unusual noise
Vibration during operation
Weak or no suction
Switch or control panel not responding
Chimney lights not working
Filter-related airflow problems
Note: We don't promise a specific repair or outcome before the appliance has been inspected in person, since the right fix depends on what's actually causing the issue.
Installing a kitchen chimney depends on several factors specific to your kitchen: the chimney type, wall configuration, mounting requirements, duct arrangement, electrical connection, exhaust route, existing installation (if any), and the manufacturer's specifications.
We assist with installation across common chimney formats, including:
Wall-mounted chimneys
Straight-line chimneys
Curved glass chimneys
Vertical chimneys
Inclined / slant chimneys
Island chimneys
Note: Not every installation is possible in every kitchen layout. We assess each request individually based on your kitchen's configuration.
There are several situations where a chimney needs to be carefully removed: ahead of a kitchen renovation, before replacing an old unit, or when relocating a chimney within the kitchen.
Dismantling is carried out carefully to avoid damage to the appliance itself, its wall mounting, and any connected ducting or electrical components. Reinstallation assistance is available where the same or a new chimney needs to go back up afterwards.
Routine maintenance helps keep filters clear, suction consistent and grease from accumulating to the point where it affects performance. How often maintenance is needed depends on how the kitchen is used, particularly the frequency of oil-heavy or high-smoke cooking.
Depending on the chimney's design and condition, a cleaning visit may include inspection, filter cleaning, grease removal, internal and external cleaning, and a functional check afterwards.
Basic cleaning generally addresses visible grease and filter buildup, while deep cleaning goes further into internal components where grease has accumulated over a longer period. A technician can advise which is appropriate after inspecting the chimney.
Weak suction is commonly linked to blocked or heavily greased filters, ducting issues, or motor and blower performance. An in-person inspection is the reliable way to identify the actual cause for your unit.
In many cases, yes, though it depends on the kitchen layout, wall configuration, ducting route, electrical points and the chimney format chosen. Not every installation is possible in every kitchen, which is why it's assessed individually.
Yes. Dismantling and reinstallation support is available, for example ahead of a kitchen renovation or when replacing or relocating a chimney. This is done carefully to avoid damage to the appliance, wall mounting and connected ducting.
This depends on cooking frequency and the type of cooking done. Kitchens that do heavier, oil-based or high-smoke cooking typically need more frequent servicing than lighter-use kitchens.
