Ramadan Drain CleaningKitchen flue installation in Abdullah Al-Salem
Kitchen flue installation in Abdullah Al-Salem suburb means horizontal flats and apartment blocks near the British Embassy area. Kitchens in these flats are small and the hood usually sits near the window, with the duct running up the outside wall or over the balcony.
Extraction symptoms
When the ductis the problem.
The hood runs loudly and the smell stays. That is where you start at the duct.
01
It runs and the smell stays
If the noise is strong but the air above the hob is not moving, the duct is either packed with grease, its outside termination is shut, or the hood was never ducted at all and is recirculating the air.
02
Steam gathering on the ceiling
Steam rising past the hood and collecting on the ceiling and the cupboards means the pull is weaker than the steam being produced. Usually the route is long, or it carries too many bends eating into the draw.
03
Grease dripping from the duct
Greasy drops coming off the joint above the hood mean grease has built up inside the duct, cooled and started to run back. That case needs the route cleaned, not just a new filter.
04
Outside air blows back in
Feeling hot air or dust coming in through the hood while it is off means the flap on the outside termination is broken or missing. That opening needs a flap that lifts with the extraction and falls shut after it.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Abdullah Al-Salem is a mixed residential area with older blocks from the Nineties and newer ones side by side. Flats are one or two bedrooms with small tight kitchens and low ceilings. The hood sits almost over the cooktop and the duct goes up through plasterboard and exits above the building or through the exterior wall. Wet pipes and electrical wires in the ceiling block the path, so we measure before we cut. Old flats have dead outlets from years of neglect, so we fit a new one at better bore.
Abdullah Al-Salem is a residential suburb in Kuwait governorate near the British Embassy area, made up of multi-storey apartment blocks.
Most flats in Abdullah Al-Salem have low ceilings, so the outlet duct cannot run at a gentle slope inside the wall.

How we route it
From the hood tothe outside wall.
The route is decided before a single component is bought.
We find the nearest way out
We work out the shortest route from the hood to the nearest outside wall or light well, because every extra length and every bend takes from the pull.
We size the duct
The duct is sized against the hood and the route. Narrowing it so it can pass behind a cupboard kills the draw, however strong the hood is.
We run it and seal the joints
The duct runs with as few bends as possible, and every joint is sealed so no steam or smell escapes into a false ceiling or behind the cupboards.
We fit the flap and test
The outside opening takes a flap that lifts with the extraction and closes after it, then the hood runs and we confirm the air above the hob really is moving.
Common questions
Questions about Kitchen flue installation in Abdullah Al-Salem
Yes, if the interior ceiling is low or space is tight. We run the duct outside on an angled bracket and feed it back into the flat, but it must be securely fixed and the outlet end clear of the frame.
No, we fit the duct onto the old hood if it is sound. If it is worn or the bore does not match the new duct, tell us and we will explain your choices.
