I have a question about the ventilation required in a kitchen which is fitted with a gas cooker.
The kitchen has a 3-speed extraction hood/fan fitted directly above the gas hob that vents directly through an external wall to the outside atmosphere. The fan will shift approx 130 litres per second.
The kitchen total volume is approx 35 cubic metres.
The house has a conservatory fitted. The kitchen has a door that leads into a large open-plan lounge and stairwell and another door that leads into the conservatory. The conservatory itself has 6 large opening windows and two patio doors.
The kitchen has two large opening windows;..both of which open into the conservatory.
Was advised recently (by the chap who fitted gas and leccy Smart-meters) that the kitchen should ‘probably’ have had an extra vent fitted to an external wall when the conservatory was built. Not sure when the conservatory was built,...but at least 20 years ago.
I’ve had a skim through this ‘doc’ but I’m still unsure if ‘probably’ was correct!

Is any extra ventilation required?...if so, what form/size should it take?
All advice gratefully received.
