extraction

Hi, I'm looking to replace a old rubbish extractor fan in the bathroom, and also run ducting to the kitchen to remove heat from the room. I've got a fairly large cuboard between the bathroom and kitchen which is home to the combi boiler. The combi boiler has the flue going throught the wall...

My 350m3/h cooker hood is 4.5m from the exterior wall, and is currently connected to an exterior vent with 100mm aluminium ducting inside a bulkhead. I'd like to have better extraction, 500m3/h or more, and it seems like I need 150mm duct for higher powered hoods. Unfortuately the floor has been...

Hi All, Lots of helpful discussion in previous threads, but my question is now specific. Background: I have just redone my kitchen. In an effort to do all the dirty work up front I drilled the core hole for the extractor hood pre-plastering. 120mm straight (slight angle down) through two skins...

Hi guys, Long time lurker. Remodelling a flat to convert recesses into an internal kitchen, very common in these parts. There will be no windows, just a door into the hallway. My question is this: am I allowed to have a gas hob in it? I thought it was allowed with the appropriate mechanical...
