Kitchen Extraction Options

[chuckalicious]

Looking for some ideas regarding kitchen extractions:

I was in the middle of a kitchen renovation and had cut the hole in the external wall ready for the new hood to go in, sites above the position of the new hob.

However, sadly the whole project has had to be binned meaning I'm left with my old hob nowhere near the new hood site. The old hood is gone and the wall it was hung on is gone too.

So, I was wondering if anyone could think of a good way of dealing with the extraction given my current situation.

I could put a bog standard extractor on the wall, but I've no idea how good they are for kitchen smells etc. are normal extractors any good for kitchens?

Why can't you install an extractor above the hob location?

Because the hob is on the leg of an L shaped worktop, away from any wall. There used to be a partition above the hob which had the old extractor on it but that is now gone.

The only way we'd get an extractor hood above it would be to put an island hood in, from the ceiling, but we'd need to then run the ducting alOng the ceiling, down the wall and to the new hole. Far from ideal. Can't run ducting above ceiling.

What about a ductless, recirculation hood?

Would still require somewhere to put it. Thus we'd need to get an island hood, which are far from cheap, plus I'd need to get power to the middle of the celing.

We've just sodded it and decided to continue with the refit and move the hob to the new extraction position.
