Hi Alant1000, An extractor not only helps to remove odours from cooking but it also makes cleaning the kitchen easier, removing some of the grease that would otherwise settle throughout the room. Extractors do however come in many shapes and sizes, in terms of aesthetics you could opt for a pendant extractor which appears as a pendant light or you could choose a downdraft extractor, which will be hidden within the worktop. It's difficult to give you a definitive answer but we certainly design all our clients' kitchens with appropriate extraction. If you would like more information about the importance of extraction and the different options there are for extractors please do read our blog - Extraction: the secret to a clean kitchen and odour-free home. Hope this helps. Kindest regards, Davonport.

Looking for a fitted kind of extractor for chimney breast has to be recirculating one any ideas appreciated

There are not many appliance brands that sell a venting / downdraft hob with a gas cooktop as to do it right needs alot of expertise.. ours works & works really well. The burner are sunk down low in the cooktop..giving it protection from the extractor..

We have a powerful bathroom style centrifugal extractor with grilles above the oven stack and the hob (slightly off centre due to lighting/beam constraints). Reasoning was that I didn't want to box myself in or obstruct view of garden with a hood extractor and we couldn't get a ceiling extractor in for reasons above - plus they are ££. A downdraft was out of budget. Also, I wanted the least dB possible. It works really well. Ceiling is painted matt white and there is no grease on it after 2 years and I do do lot of hob cooking. The grilles are super easy to wipe down - I do it every couple of months, takes 5 mins.
