My builders have made a big hole in my external wall for the kitchen extractor fan. In fact the hole is in the archway that supports the party wall between the upstairs rooms above.
Problem is this goes into an external passageway shared with the neighbours and they are unhappy about it.
Are we allowed to do this? Is it a problem that the extractor will come out at head height in a narrow covered passageway? (it's covered because the upstairs goes across the passageway - it's a terraced row of houses)
They also say it's a fire hazard because there are wooden boards above you as you look up in the passage and we are sending out hot and greasy air.
And it will smell of our cooking in there.
