Kitchen chimney and range hood cleaning for villas, apartments and restaurants
A kitchen chimney, also called a range hood or chimney hood, is the hood above the cooker that pulls out smoke, steam and grease. HoodEx cleans kitchen chimneys and range hoods in villas and apartments, and restaurant chimneys too, inside and out, including the filter and the duct connection. We inspect first, so the plan matches what is actually there.
Villa and apartment kitchens: from AED 280 + VAT. The final price depends on the size and condition and is confirmed after we inspect.

How we do it
Villa hood cleaning, apartment hood cleaning and restaurant chimney cleaning follow the same steps. We take the filters out, degrease the canopy and its edges, clean the duct connection and refit everything dry. Some customers call this chimney exhaust cleaning, villa exhaust cleaning or apartment exhaust cleaning. It is the same work.
Home kitchens can have a hood that vents outside through a duct, or one that recirculates the air through a carbon filter. We check which you have when we inspect, and we tell you what needs cleaning and what should be replaced.
Restaurant chimneys are larger and need the whole system cleaned: the hood, the filters, the duct, the ESP or ecology unit where fitted, and the fan. See our complete exhaust system cleaning. Looking for kitchen chimney cleaning near you? We travel to homes and kitchens across all seven emirates.
Frequently asked questions
What is a kitchen chimney?
A kitchen chimney, also called a range hood or chimney hood, is the hood above the cooker that extracts smoke, steam and grease. It may vent outside through a duct or recirculate the air through a filter.
How much does kitchen chimney cleaning cost?
Cleaning a kitchen chimney or range hood in a villa or apartment starts from AED 280 + VAT. The final price depends on the size and condition of the hood and is confirmed after we inspect. Restaurant chimneys are priced after an inspection.
Do you clean chimneys in villas and apartments?
Yes. We clean kitchen chimneys and range hoods in villas and apartments, as well as in restaurants, hotels and cloud kitchens.
How often should a home kitchen chimney be cleaned?
It depends on how much you cook and what you cook. Frying and grilling load the filters and the canopy faster. Wash the metal filters regularly and book a cleaning when you see grease dripping, a sticky film or lingering smells. After an inspection we can recommend a schedule.
Do you clean restaurant chimneys?
Yes. Restaurant chimneys are cleaned as part of our kitchen hood and exhaust cleaning, from the hood to the duct and the fan, and every job ends with a company-attested report with before and after photos and recommendations.
Is this the same as cleaning a fireplace chimney?
No. This service is for kitchen chimneys and range hoods: the hood above the cooker and its exhaust.
