Yes you need two.

Wouldn’t it be easier for cooking if they were together or you had one big hob?

Technically, no you don’t actually - you can have an extractor elsewhere in the room - as long as it extracts 60litres per second ( for a uk property)

Basic kitchen extractor fan- silly or thrifty?

I'm sorry to say that you would be throwing good money after bad. The type of extractor you've linked to is a bathroom model. These gently extractor moist air over a period of time. technically it extracts 220m3 per hour. Even the most basic 'cheap' cooking extractors will deal with 3 times that volume and good ones will extract 6 or 7 times that volume. In real terms that would mean you need between 4 to 7 of those extractors to do the job of what a single dedicated cooking extractor could achieve. When it comes to dealing with greasy smoke filled air, then the difference between a simple ceiling extractor and a dedicated cooking extractor is the difference between a gentle streaming brook and the grand canyon.

Hi All, We would agree with what the others have said, if you had an extractor fan before you will need to replace it. Also there are so many amazing options for discreet looking extractors we're sure you;ll be able to find one that suits. http://www.airuno.co.uk/slimline-classic-wall-cooker-hood/ You may need your builder to create housing for the ceiling extractor out of plaster work and add some down lights to it and it can look really well! http://elica.com/GB-en/products/hoods/easy http://www.falmec.co.uk/Products/COLLECTIONS/E.ion-Collection/Twister-E.ion Or you could go for a suspended recirculating extractor which looks more like a design feature? We hope this helps, The team at Modus Kitchens

Extractor for Island Hob

Hi Susie, if you like oriental cooking, you probably want to cook on gas? I think one of those downdrafts that pop up from the island might be a good option. I have a downdraft (Dutch brand) and it works very well. My induction hob has power settings for when I use the wok. It's okay, but I think that a wok just works better on gas with the flame going round the wok. And I don't think you can use a downdraft with a gas flame, sucks the flame from under the pan. But the pop up ones you can use with gas as far as I know.

We have a Novy Pure’line built into the ceiling above our island hob in our open plan room and are happy with it. It‘s powerful but also quiet. Also a very discreet design. Westin Stratus was another contender which may be more well known in the UK - Westin are very helpful on the phone if you have queries. If you have a limited ceiling void (eg in an original period building rather than an extension) you may need the Westin Stratus Compact. We do have an electric opening skylight right behind the extractor fan which we use if frying something particularly smelly or smoky - would that be an option?
