Ramadan Drain CleaningKitchen flue installation in Mahboula
Kitchen flue installation in Mahboula often begins with smoke and smell trapped in the kitchen even though the extractor is running. Mahboula is a flat-block area near the coast, with homes tightly grouped, so ducts must run long routes around balconies or up through the roof.
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.

What setsthis area apart
Flats in Mahboula sit close to the seafront, and most of the buildings are five storeys high with small kitchens that open to the living room. Ducts we install here must run from the kitchen to the balcony or up through the roof, and that long path means we choose the bore size carefully so air does not choke in the middle. Some older Mahboula flats have no ducts at all, and others have thin ones clogged for years, so we fit a new one on the roof but keep it clear of the waste outlet.
Mahboula sits in Ahmadi governorate, a seafront residential zone with mid-rise flat blocks.
Long roof ducts in Mahboula need careful angling and fall because the wind at the seafront is strong.

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.
