Hi All
I've been reading these forums for years but have never posted so please be kind.
I'm in the process of fitting a kitchen and need to make a hole through a stone wall that's over 2ft thick to vent my cooker hood. The wall is solid stone with loose shingle in the middle.
The room has had problems with condensation in the past so I don't really want to recirculate the air.
As it's an old house and the walls are not dead straight (and I'm fitting an IKEA kitchen with no service void at the back of the cupboards), I don't really want to make the hole until I know the exact position of the hood i.e. after the base units are fitted.
My question really is does anyone have any tips on the best way to make the hole (the room's already been re-skimmed) that will keep mess to a minimum. I was thinking about buying some ducting as it might be easier to make a rectangular hole through the stonework. Thanks.
