Replacing a hood in Ciutat Vella: what we look at first
In 1960s and 70s flats in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval, we often find the hood connected to a ventilation grille or a crushed flexible hose behind the units. We replace it with rigid duct of the right diameter and a non-return damper, so smells from other flats stay out.
In areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera we hide the electrical connection behind the hood, with its own socket or junction box, and adjust the wall unit to fit if the hood is built in. Before leaving we test every speed, the light and the damper.
On the visit we look at the hob and the possible outlets and give you a detailed written quote; a site manager coordinates the fitting and we leave the kitchen clean. We also work in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions

We do this work in Ciutat Vella, in areas such as El Barri Gòtic, El Raval, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina, La Ribera and La Barceloneta, and also nearby: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.
02Ducted or recirculating hood?
A ducted hood removes steam, grease and smells; a recirculating one filters smells but returns moisture to the kitchen. If a duct can be run outside, that is the option we recommend.
03At what height should the hood go?
The manufacturer sets it for each model and type of hob; it is usually a little higher over gas than over induction. We also adjust it to your height so it does not get in the way.
04Can I reuse the old hood's duct?
If the diameter is large enough and the duct is clean and intact, yes. A narrow duct or one with many bends reduces extraction and adds noise, so we check it first.
