Distinguish a fan fault from an airflow concern
Describe the available fan speeds, whether the sound has changed and whether the issue is constant or intermittent. If you know whether air is ducted outdoors or recirculated, include that information. Mention any normal filter maintenance or kitchen alterations already undertaken. A running fan with poor extraction does not by itself establish that the motor is faulty.
Lighting, controls and access at height
Tell us whether the lamps, display and controls respond separately. For an island, ceiling or high-mounted hood, give the approximate mounting arrangement and access restrictions. Do not climb onto worktops or remove electrical covers to locate the label. Ductwork alterations and the appliance’s own repair may need different scopes, so describe both if you suspect a fitting problem.
Prepare the model and fault details
Tell us whether the hood is built-in, chimney or island mounted, plus its access height. Ducting changes need a separate assessment.
- Bosch model reference and chimney, built-in, island or ceiling fitting.
- Whether lights, controls and each fan speed respond.
- Ducted or recirculating arrangement, if already known.
- Height, access limitations and recent changes to the kitchen or ductwork.
Look for the E-Nr and FD numbers on the rating plate. The exact E-Nr helps distinguish similar-looking models.

Use an accessible label or appliance paperwork. Leave fitted units, heavy appliances and electrical covers in place. If you cannot reach the label safely, tell the office. Include any displayed message exactly as shown and describe what happened before the fault, without running repeated tests.
Access to the appliance in W1F postcode area
Give the house or flat number, full postcode and the best contact for the visit. Mention stairs, lift or concierge arrangements, controlled parking and any restrictions on reaching the appliance. Tell us whether it is fitted behind a kitchen door, stacked or in a narrow cupboard.
For a tenant's or business appliance, identify who can authorise the work and who will provide access. The office checks these arrangements before agreeing an appointment.

If you are considering a replacement
When replacing a fitted hood, check the mounting space, duct or recirculation arrangement and access for removal. Discuss changes to cupboards, outlets or electrical connections before agreeing the installation.

Cooker hood repair questions
Can you assess a hood when the lights still work?
Yes. Explain that the lighting works and describe what happens when you request extraction. A working lamp does not confirm the condition of the fan or its controls, and the exact hood model remains important.
Is new ducting included in a cooker hood repair?
Not automatically. Tell the office if you also need ducting, a new outlet or a change of fitting. Those works must be assessed and agreed rather than assumed to be part of replacing an appliance component.
Charges, scope and confirming a visit
We review the model, address and work required, explain applicable charges and confirm availability before agreeing a visit. Sending an enquiry does not take payment, reserve an appointment or guarantee a completed repair. Parts availability and the appliance's condition affect the options; further parts or work are discussed before you decide.
UKCDA is an independent repair business. Brand names identify appliances and do not imply manufacturer approval. If a manufacturer guarantee or service plan may cover the appliance, check its arrangements before requesting a chargeable visit.
