I'd appreciate some advice.
As a part of fitting a new kitchen, a leaseholder in top floor flat (1980's purpose built unit 3 story residential) has cut through the kitchen ceiling and installed an over-hob extractor hood venting into the common roof-space via a flexible PVC duct.
Roof is cut roof construction with concrete interlocking tiles over felt and masonry internal walls providing compartmentalisation between the roof-spaces over the two top floor flats.
Setting aside the stupidity of venting into an internal roof-space, my chief concern is the increase in the risk of fire spreading into the roof-space. I'm trying to find which, if any B.Regs may have been breached with a view to remedying the situation - the closest I think I can get is B3 10.9 & 10.16 but not sure that they would apply in these circumstances.
The leaseholder is, to put it mildly, a PITA to deal with and I'm looking for a simple factual approach prior to the legals of trespass, breach etc.
Any advice welcome.
