Thanks. Yes still here as neighbour is still knocking on door despite that we bought a brand new cooker hood extractor fan as previous owners was is very poor condition so thought it might not be working properly plus half the time it didnt turn on so was faulty anyway. Plus sealed up the hole...

Well I do try DIY even though alot of times it ends up a mess or not working.

Hi yes I am West of Scotland. So if you know anyone like this then great. Actually been 3 electricians who have said its just too difficult or just too much work and not replied back to me when I was following up if they are happy to do it. I'm not good at DIY so isn't this a good forum to be on?

I can't even screw in a screw without having an issue so can't even do any DIY

"Hi I'm sorry but I think that will be to difficult to do it." Was the response exactly from one and pretty much the same response from the others in different words. They are just not interested in difficult jobs.

The previous owners ie before March last year had a terrible relationship with him and were not on speaking terms at all, not over smells but over other issues. He's not on speaking terms with the neighbour to his other side either. If we were to manage to vent through the wall and there is...

I'm trying to find this information. I tried to push open the ceiling panels but they are totally unmovable. We installed the new extractor fan on the recirculating mode but neighbour was at the door today complaining again about the smells saying they are even worse since we installed the new...

But you did. I was just summarising it.

I think the main 3 options are 1) remove part of the false ceiling, run some rectangular ducting as linked above by Diver Fred, use suitable angles to get around/above the boiler flue and out through the same wall. Then reinstall the false ceiling. This depends on if there is a joist behind the...

First idea sounds possible. But does it matter that it would be venting downwards part of the way?

Yes this might be possible and the tradesman and I discussed this option. He said he suspects there's a joist running along between the Yes need to loft up some of those ceiling panels in that corner and see if there's any joists there. Tradesman said most likely there's one running along the...

I can see the 50mm wide is the smallest..is that correct? Is that good enough for the one I have bought? Also wouod need an exhaust pipe but how do I know the correct size? I read something about 150mm needed for my hood?

Thanks. What is the smallest duct size you can get? Maybe it is possible to run a duct near the boiler Pipes? one guy we had out said it is the same size as the white one you see on that photo for the boiler which obviously is far too big to fit in that space.

Yes we wanted to do your send option but the joists above run perpendicular and not sure if an good idea to put holes in the joists? Your first option down below ofcourse is possible but if you see the pictures, where would we run it? Probably jave to drill through the work surface.

Yes the joists above run perpendicular sadly . I'll try and sketch the floor plan etc. The room above is the main bedroom with laminate flooring.

The pipes block a square section pipe fitting doesnt it? If you see the picture , this is what we were told anyway that theres no space because of those pipes.

What do you mean I haven't taken any advice? I HAVE taken all the advice given which was to get it externally vented. We have had 3 electricians who have cisted and also have confirmed It CAN NOT be extracted outdoor due to there not being space to run ducting because A) the boiler pipes take...

Ive bought a new Candy CTS6CEX 60cm Chimney Cooker Hood - Stainless Steel and wondering if anyone knows what additional things I need to buy to ensure this works effectively please? Recirculating and not being outdoor extracted? have someone coming to install on Friday and it's getting...

Thanks so an electrician could move the existing wall socket to the side, away from chimney and replace with a fused spur or just simply move the wall socket itself to away from chimney? Guessing that would leave a hole? How best to seal up the hole and what materials would I need to do this?

No unfortunately the problem is not solved as there are a couple of problems. 1) SOLVED - FLUE OUTSIDE SOLVES ISSUE IF 300 AWAY FROM THE GAS BOILER OUTLET 2) UNSOLVER - SOCKET OBSTRUCTING THE FITTING AND POTENTIAL NEW FITTING OF A COOKER HOOD EXTRACTOR FAN. 3) UNSOLVED - NEIGHBOUR GETTING...
