This may be a daft question.

I need to install a vent for my cooker hood, however directly behind where the chimney is there is a drain pipe.

Am I able to bend my ducting down and to the side so I can fit the outside vent to the side of the drain pipe.

Any and all advice needed on this pretty please.
Thanks
Martyn

I don't see why not. It's just the more bends and length you add the less effective the extraction will be.
 
It's literally going to be half a metre to the left.

Would it be a case of just pulling it through the void in the wall?
I think there is a little insulation which may need to shift

is the duct 4-inch/100mm? You can easily get flexible ducting, you can also use soil pipe elbows and other connectors.

More modern, powerful extractors are often 125mm or 150mm.

Show us some photos.
 
I have got 125mm flex ducting.
The hole currently isn't in the wall yet, I just wasn't sure if I would be able to fit the ducting between the walls and then out as I'm not too sure how much room there is in the void lol
