Let’s be honest… extraction fans and cooker hoods are one of those things most people don’t think about—until they stop working properly.
They sit there quietly doing their job, pulling away steam, grease, and smells day in, day out. But over time, something starts to change. The airflow drops, the noise increases, and before you know it… it’s either barely working or completely given up.
And here’s the bit most people don’t realise…
Grease and fat build up naturally inside extraction hoods and fans. It’s part of everyday cooking. But over time, that build-up clogs the system, slows the motor down, and can eventually burn it out. Even worse, when that grease gets warm, it can drip back down—yes, back into your cooking area—without you even noticing.
So just because your extractor is “still working”… doesn’t mean it’s working safely or effectively.
If you’re in Loughton, Debden, Chigwell, Buckhurst Hill, Woodford, Woodford Green, South Woodford or Chingford, and your fan or hood isn’t performing how it should, it might be time to get it properly checked—and replaced if needed.
At Tack Electrical, we offer a straightforward, honest service when it comes to replacing extraction hoods and fans.
We don’t jump straight to “rip it out and replace it”…
We assess first.
Because sometimes it’s a clean, sometimes it’s a fault, and sometimes—yes—it’s time for a proper upgrade.

Whether it’s a kitchen extractor hood, a bathroom fan, or a utility room ventilation system—we’ve got it covered.
Extraction isn’t just about smells…
It’s about air quality, safety, and protecting your home.
When an extractor fan isn’t working properly, you can start to see:
And in kitchens especially, that grease build-up inside the hood becomes a hidden issue.
It’s out of sight… but it’s not gone.
We’ve seen units where the internal build-up is so bad that airflow is almost completely blocked—and the motor is working overtime just to keep up.
That’s when things start to fail.
