Well this might be surprising, but here we go: Full circle - I say again - it was - infact, a 'Qualified Tradesman' that fitted the original. I repeat - the extraction hose was not sealed to the canopy using any tape or seal. The top of the extractor was obsured by a panel - so we could not...

. It's all in those extra inches my friend :cool:

Pic's of the wiring loom - as pulled/removed by the electrician - from the top of the previous extractor hood (canopy): Beginning to suspect that some of the posters on this thread have recognised what might be their own work - and are covering/diverting with bluster??? Q: Should a...

Any vs all - which do you mean. Not even commercial grade extractors used in restaurants capture 'All'. We replaced the filter paper - every month - as required.

The previous extractor fan - was making screeching noises - bearings were gone - 20 years use. Upon removal - there was no seal (tape or clip - nothing). The wires were signed (I kid you not). We have a number of tradespeople visit - they told us the fan - the motor were covered in oil - due...

I'd appreciate any advice on how to make good the gaps.

You are both correct - the wire and socket had been there for 20 years 'as is'. The electrician put on a new face plate & the module on the side of the casing. Question - the wire and they way it comes into the socket - does some action need to be taken over this? I did ask him if there were...

I'm glad you feel sorry for them. When the previous extractor fan was removed - the wires had been improperly exposed to heat, over long enough time - to singe them (clear cut). There was no taped/good seal between the previous (plastic) exhaust pipe - and the extractor - the top - the motor...

A) When asked - He said that an independent isolation switch was unnecessary for this cooker hood - is that correct? B) He's coiled the wire up and rested it ontop of the cooker hood - is this anything to be concerned about? c) The tape used - is that okay for the task?

The only part I did (weeks ago) - enlarged the hole in the wall - 100mm to 150mm. Literally everything else = electricians work.

UPDATE: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/rate-this-job-cooker-hood-extractor-install.505036/ I would be really grateful for your thoughts on all the effort it has taken to get this far! SL

Yesterday - I hired an electrician to install this: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/cooking/hoods/neff-d61lac1n0b-visor-cooker-hood-stainless-steel-10164704-pdt.html I always get the opinion of fellow diynot forum members, before any job is accepted (by me) & signed off (due...

Appreciate the reply. Q: Can mainboards be got (refurbished/new) anywhere - for a cost effective price?

It'd help immensely if fellow members could recommend some replacement taps. Looking for low priced (but good value) replacements, with pop up waste rod functionality. Bathroom sink taps - functional & easily serviceable are the goal.

My sincere thanks to all those that have contributed thus far. I took the long route - as I knew I'd learn a life skill - that will stay with me long term. I have located the cartridges I need. Final question: What can I do to prepare the bases of the taps cavity's - to give the replacements...

UPDATE Please look at new pics. Cartridge bases removed successfully. Asking for help with following: 1. How to prepare the mating surface / base of tap for a new cartridge (How to clean & make good to receive new cartridges). 2. Where to get replacement cartridges - does anybody recognise...

Will be able to seek out compatible cartridges on Monday. Could use any pointers people have, in making that job - as easy as possible?

Ok - so here is a short guide /tutorial - on what I've done - to successfully remove the base of a stuck cartridge - in a mixer / swivel / flick tap. 1. Eye protection is crucial. 2. Small bottle of room temp water. 3. Thin nose Pilars 4. Descaler - liquid kind used on kettles 5. Tissues -...

Please take a look at the pics first. Mixer Swivel Taps - Time to change cartridges - They're 15 years old - need help. The top casing & main body of each cartridge (two different types) has come off (upstairs bathroom - downstairs bathroom) - but the base is stuck in each of them - I can't...

UPDATE: Alarm battery last replaced 2016 - Tamper switch was bypassed - without telling us. Metal case earthing wire - was disconnected and hanging loose. No walk through test was done. Bell would go off as soon as you enter the house (delay was not programmed in). Cost for basically doing the...
