    Radiator in front of fireplace

    Hi, we are currently refurbishing a 1930s bungalow we bought and was thinking of boarding up the fireplace and moving a radiator in front of it. Presumably we need to have a vent for the boarded up fireplace - is it okay to have the radiator directly in front of the vent? TIA!

    Cooker hood and ventilation problems in flat

    Cooker hood and ventilation problems in flat

    Thanks. presumably with the one-way flap/valve I won't have the problems with the hood interfering with the MEV as mentioned in the Nuaire link? will the long duct run (>6m with at least 1 turn) be a problem? Also, I had another thought - could I install hood with no fan and connect it up to...

    Cooker hood and ventilation problems in flat

    Thanks. the other side if the wall the cooker is on is party to the communal hall so we can't vent straight out unfortunately :lol:. The outside wall is about 6m across the room. We're not allowed to make any holes on the exterior wall according to our lease so that was why I was thinking of...

    Cooker hood and ventilation problems in flat

    Hi all, We live in a small flat with a open plan kitchen and living area. The problem is that when cooking the room gets quite smelly, smoky and hot. We currently have a re-circulating cooker hood and also a round ceiling vent attached to a central continuous ventilation MEV (which also vents...
