Hi,
Possibly should have already planned this better, however....
I have just knocked into the chimney breast in our kitchen and put our hob and oven there. I would like to move an existing extractor from and external wall to above the hob so it is hidden up inside the chimeny. This will give us more wall space which we are limited on and seems to make sense.
The only thing I'm not sure about is whether venting directly into the chimney is just going to create a damp rank mess inside the chimney hidden behind the boarding. Would I need something to run all the way from the top of the stack down the chimeny to the extractor?
Any help would be lovely!
Thanks,
Nina
