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 something solid behind the wall? Or could it be hung from plasterboard?Thanks

If the plasterboard is covering a solid wall then drill through into this solid wall and use longer fixings.
If it is only a stud wall ..i.e. no solid wall structure then you will need to see if you can locate parts of the timber frame wiork ....studs or noggins etc, and fix to them. If this is not possible you may have to insert a cross bearer between two of the uprights of the partition wall..and fix the hood to it.....Dont just fix to the plasterboard
