Cooker hood installation for your home
Request installation of a cooker hood suited to the mounting position and intended extraction arrangement. Access, mounting and ventilation details determine the scope of the fitting.
Fitting types: Built-in, wall-mounted and island hoods, subject to assessment.
Details that help us prepare
Send the new model, mounting style and access height. Say whether the kitchen uses an outside duct or recirculation, and mention any cupboard, mounting or ducting changes you need.
- The old and new model numbers and when the replacement will be available.
- Safely available measurements and photographs of the fitting position, if useful.
- Existing connections and any changes you already know are needed.
- Whether disconnection, removal or disposal of the old appliance is required.
- The full property address and any access arrangements for the visit.
Plan your cooker hood and extraction arrangement
What determines cooker hood installation cost?
The mounting style, access height, existing duct route and electrical connection affect the quotation. A replacement on an existing wall mount differs from fitting an island hood or creating a new route outside. Send the model and describe the current setup. Cupboard changes, ducting, removal and electrical alterations are included only when the office agrees them.
Do I need ducted or recirculating cooker hood installation?
Ducted extraction carries air outside; recirculation filters it and returns it to the kitchen. The model and property must suit the chosen arrangement. Tell us whether there is an existing outside duct and any building restrictions. A recirculating setup may need model-specific filters or accessories, which should be confirmed before fitting is agreed.
Can the new hood use my existing mounting position?
The hood's fixings, weight and clearance must suit its position and the cooking appliance underneath. Model instructions determine the height; there is no universal fitting height. Tell us the mounting surface and building restrictions. Leave the old hood in place while the office reviews requirements needing professional confirmation. A hood above a gas appliance does not include gas connection work.
What is different about integrated or island cooker hood fitting?
An integrated or canopy hood must suit its housing and ventilation route. An island hood also needs an appropriate mounting arrangement and access above the cooking area. Send the model and describe the cupboard or ceiling position. Furniture, ceiling and ducting alterations need assessment rather than being assumed to come with an appliance fitting appointment.
Can the existing cooker hood ducting be reused?
Its route, size and condition need checking against the replacement hood's requirements. The presence of an outside vent does not show that the full route is suitable. Describe any known bends, restrictions or shared building arrangements without opening walls or ceilings. New ductwork or external openings are separate work to review and agree before booking.
Is recirculating cooker hood installation a simple DIY job?
Recirculation avoids an outside duct, but the hood still needs suitable fixings, clearance, a safe electrical connection and the correct filters. Weight, access and cupboard alterations can make fitting more involved than it appears. Send the model and a description of the position for a professional assessment. Do not remove the existing hood or open wiring to prepare an enquiry.
How do I arrange a cooker hood installation service near me?
Send the complete model, postcode, mounting style and whether the kitchen uses extraction or recirculation. Include access height and any old-hood removal required. Different brands and models use different mounting and accessory arrangements. The office confirms suitability, the quotation and availability after reviewing your request; a search result is not a booked appointment.
AEG's explanation of extraction and recirculation helps distinguish the two arrangements. Confirm the mounting, accessories and ducting against your hood's own installation instructions.
Send the fitting details for your address
UKCDA accepts installation enquiries across London and all areas inside the M25, throughout Surrey, and across DA and RM postcodes. Check your full postcode, then send the exact model and proposed fitting position. The office confirms suitability, the agreed scope and appointment availability. Manufacturer references provide background guidance and do not imply that UKCDA is authorised by those manufacturers.
Agreeing your installation
Installation work and charges are agreed for your model, fitting and existing connections before an appointment is confirmed. Removal, disposal and changes to cabinetry, plumbing, electrical supplies or ducting are included only when expressly agreed in the quotation.
Submit the fitting details and our office will confirm the price and appointment. Installation is quoted separately from repair work, and this enquiry form does not take payment.
