I need to connect up my kitchen extraction to the outside. At the moment there is a pipe that comes from the bathroom and runs across the kitchen ceiling and out to the outside wall. Would it be ok to connect up the kitchen extraction to the same outlet? Thanks EDIT: I realise this might...

Cheers. It's a stud wall, so will have to try and find something solid. I kind of knew i'd need to do this, thought there may have been a way around it.

I need to fit a cooker hood in my new kitchen. The hood I have is the stainless steel kind that is sort of pyramid shaped. It was bought 2nd hand and I don't have the manual or any fittings. There appears to be only 2 spaces for screws to mount on the wall. Will the unit have to be fixed into...

Hi, thanks for the replies guys. I can assure you that Aberdeen can be quite expensive. Tradesmen are quite hard to come by and are always busy (plenty of oil money going round). I've spoken to tradesmen here who have given a well over the odds quote simply to put a customer off because they...

He is a tiler as a full time job. He's done work for my friend that he is happy with and looks good. I have no idea what materials he is using but assume he'll be using proper stuff as he's a pro. Price quoted is £700 + materials. How does that sound?

The MCB is rated at 30 amps, I think the cable is 4mm. I take it i'll need to upgrade the MCB as its higher than 7.2kw?

Hi, thanks for the replies, i'll post again tomorrow. Thanks

Hi, i'm not at home at the moment as my internet is down. The new cooker is a Tricity Bendix SI302, if that helps. Thanks

I've just got an electric cooker from a friend as my old one was past it. I've disconnected the old one from the wall and removed the wires. The old cooker had red, black and green/yellow wires, but the new one is blue, brown and green/yellow. Which ones need do I need to match up for the new...
