Chimney Repair & Cleaning in Kolkata — Booked on the App
Lost suction, oily smell, or a chimney that won't switch on? Zaruri Hai gets a verified chimney technician to your Kolkata kitchen — for deep cleaning, motor and electrical repair, filter work and installation — booked in two taps. All brands, genuine parts, transparent pricing, and you pay only after the job is done.
Why your kitchen chimney needs servicing
Every time you cook, oil, grease and carbon stick to the filter, blower and motor. Left uncleaned, that buildup:
- cuts suction — fumes and smoke stop clearing
- is a fire risk — layered grease near heat can ignite
- raises your electricity bill — a clogged motor works harder
- gets loud — obstructed fan blades vibrate and roar
- hurts air quality — oily smoke lingers in the kitchen
A chimney does the work of around 14 exhaust fans — but only if it's kept clean.
Signs your chimney needs a service
Book a service if you notice:
- weak suction or smoke not clearing while cooking
- oil dripping from the chimney or filter
- louder-than-usual noise or vibration
- the unit not switching on, or lights/buttons failing
- a greasy film building on kitchen walls and tiles
- it hasn't been serviced in 4–6 months
What chimney services can I book?
Complete care for your kitchen chimney:
- Deep cleaning — degrease filters, blower, motor and body
- Repair — motor, suction, switch, PCB, lights, noise
- Filter service — clean or replace baffle, mesh and charcoal filters
- Installation — new fitting, uninstallation and shifting
- AMC — scheduled yearly maintenance
Any brand, any model — one app covers it.
How do I book a chimney service in Kolkata?
Open the Zaruri Hai app, tap Chimney Service, choose cleaning, repair or installation, and pick a slot. A verified technician arrives, inspects the unit, and shares the price before any work starts. Booking takes under two minutes.
How long does a chimney service take?
A standard cleaning takes about 45–60 minutes; a heavy deep clean a little longer. Most repairs are done in the same visit — only major part replacements may need a follow-up, which the technician tells you upfront.
What does a chimney deep cleaning include?
A proper deep clean restores a chimney to near-new:
- dismantle and degrease the filters (baffle/mesh)
- clean the blower/fan and motor housing
- wipe down the oil collector and inner cavity
- degrease the outer body and glass
- reassemble and run a suction test
Note: standard deep cleaning covers external body, filters, blower and oil collector. Opening the inner sealed motor or duct, if needed, is quoted separately.
How often should a chimney be cleaned?
It depends on how you cook:
- Heavy frying / non-veg daily → every 2–3 months
- Average cooking → every 4–6 months
- Light/veg cooking → every 6 months
Regular cleaning prevents costly motor damage and keeps suction strong.
What can I clean myself, and what needs a technician?
You can handle the basics: empty the auto-clean oil collector monthly and wipe the outer body and glass. Leave the rest to a professional — degreasing the filters, blower and motor, plus any electrical or motor repair, needs the right tools and full dismantling.
Auto-clean or filter chimney — what's the difference?
Two designs, cleaned differently:
- Filter chimney — fumes pass through a baffle or mesh filter that traps oil. The filter needs regular hand-cleaning.
- Auto-clean chimney — a non-stick turbine blower spins oil into a detachable oil collector cup (emptied monthly). No filter to scrub daily.
Important: auto-clean does not mean maintenance-free. The motor, blower and body still collect grease — auto-clean chimneys need professional servicing every 3–6 months too.
Which filter does your chimney have?
Three common types, handled differently:
- Baffle filter — curved steel panels; durable, washable, today's standard.
- Mesh/cassette filter — aluminium layers; clogs faster, washable but needs frequent cleaning.
- Charcoal (carbon) filter — used in ductless chimneys to absorb odour; not washable — replaced every 3–6 months.
We clean baffle and mesh filters and replace charcoal filters with genuine ones.
Ducted or ductless chimney — does it matter?
Yes, for upkeep. A ducted chimney throws smoke outside through a pipe and uses baffle or mesh filters. A ductless chimney recirculates air through a charcoal filter that must be replaced periodically. We service both and advise on the right filter for yours.
Common chimney problems we fix — and what causes them
A quick read on the fault:
- Low or no suction — clogged filters and grease-choked blower, or a weak motor. Most common, often solved by deep cleaning.
- Not switching on — a power, switch, cable or PCB fault. We check the electricals first.
- Loud noise or vibration — grease-obstructed or loose fan blades, or a failing motor bearing.
- Oil dripping — a saturated filter or a full oil collector that needs cleaning.
- Auto-clean not working — a heating-coil or control fault in the auto-clean system.
- Lights or buttons dead — a panel, LED or wiring issue.
Chimney motor & PCB repair
The motor and PCB are the heart of the chimney. We diagnose and repair weak, noisy or dead motors, blower faults, and PCB/control-panel issues, replacing parts with genuine spares so suction and controls work like new.
Chimney installation, uninstallation & shifting
New chimney installation, plus uninstallation and shifting when you move or renovate — secure wall mounting, duct fitting, electrical connection and a final suction test. (A ladder or stool at site helps; window or non-wall fittings may cost a little more.)
Do you service all chimney brands?
Yes — every major brand. Faber, Elica, Kaff, Glen, Hindware, Bosch, Sunflame, Prestige, Kutchina, Pigeon and more. Our technicians are trained across auto-clean and filter models, so brand and type are never a problem.
How much does chimney service cost in Kolkata?
You see the price upfront — a small visiting charge that's adjusted into the bill if you proceed, then a clear estimate after inspection. Cleaning is fixed-rate; repairs depend on the part.
| Service | Indicative range* |
|---|---|
| Visiting / inspection charge | ₹200–₹350 (adjusted on repair) |
| Standard cleaning | ₹400–₹800 |
| Deep cleaning | ₹700–₹1,500 |
| Motor repair / replacement | ₹800–₹2,500 |
| Installation | ₹600–₹1,200 |
*Spare parts billed separately. Your exact, live price shows in the app before you confirm.
Do I pay an advance to book?
No advance. You pay after the work is finished, and the visiting charge is adjusted into the bill once you go ahead with the service or repair.
Are your technicians verified and skilled?
Yes. Every chimney technician is background-verified and experienced across brands and models. You get a professional who deep-cleans properly and repairs correctly — not someone who wipes the surface and leaves the grease inside.
Do you use genuine parts and give a warranty?
Yes to both. Any spare — motor, PCB, filter, switch — is a genuine component, and the work carries a 30-day service warranty. If the same issue returns within the window, we revisit free.
Do you offer a chimney AMC?
Yes. An Annual Maintenance Contract keeps your chimney cleaned and checked on schedule, preventing sudden breakdowns, holding strong suction, and extending its life — ideal if you cook heavily or want zero hassle.
Which areas of Kolkata do you cover?
We send technicians across the city and suburbs — New Town, Rajarhat, Salt Lake (Bidhannagar), Lake Town, Baguiati, VIP Road, Dum Dum, Shyambazar, Park Street, Ballygunge, Gariahat, Kasba, Behala, Tollygunge, Jadavpur, Garia and the entire EM Bypass corridor.
