Recirculating Hood Cleaning
A recirculating hood has no outside duct. It pulls air through a grease filter and a charcoal filter, then blows it back into the kitchen. Book it when steam hangs around and the smell returns minutes after cooking, even though the fan still runs.
Which fittings this covers

Signs it is time

What changes the quote
The clean of the grease filter is one part. A new charcoal filter is extra and depends on the model. We quote both once we know which hood it is.
DIY and after the visit
Charcoal does not wash. People who rinse it and refit it still live with the smell. Grease mesh can be washed. The carbon needs replacing when it is spent.
You can cook again once the metal is dry and the filters are back in. A light film of new grease is normal after the next fry-up. Book again when filters look loaded or the fan smells of old oil as soon as it starts.
