I have just bought a Cooker hood to fit, B&Q said it can be used either vented or recirculated air. It has a 13 amp plug on. The instructions say that the socket outlet must be fitted inside the chimney section. Surely this is not a good idea, the output of recirculated air is also put...

Thanks everybody...your all talking common sense,I was being lazy.......time to get the core drill me thinks

Yep JohnD your right, I'm just being a chicken, just didn't fancy drilling a big hole in my lovely house! But I suppose venting damp air into a loft space would do more damage...would'nt it?

Really Its a just lack of skill.... I can fit the hood no problem, but I don't want to destroy the housewall or remove roofing tiles trying to fit a vent to the outside. The thought of making a hole through a wall from inside to out I think is a little bit beyond me.

I am about to install a cooker hood, and I am looking for some advice. I live in a bungalow, and its is not possible without great difficulty to vent to an outside wall. Obviously the celing above the kitchen is the loft. Does anybody know if it is OK to ventilate the extracted air...

Could I trouble anybody to answer 2 questions for me: I have just replaced a celing rose fitting with a rail of 4 spotlights. 1.Due to the fact that the wires left from the ceiling are very short and I can't fix them into the new connector inside the new spots because it is in a box like...

Will Do, Thank you Dingbat ! ! !

B&Q Gets my vote too, on price and quality. I decided to plan and fit my own kitchen, and went for B&Q on nearly everything and it wasn't a mistake. My only advice to anyone considering fitting a kitchen is think how long you think it's going to take and TREBLE it!

I am replacing an old celing rose which is fitted in a loop system with a new light fitting which has only the Live Neutral and earth connection and no loop connectors like the old celing rose. They suggest that you use a flex block connector for the loop wires, is it a 5amp block connector...

Cheers Bas, I'm fairly confident as I seem to have had my head stuck in the cistern for weeks, but, good idea,I will take the old one with me when I go

SEEMS A BARGAIN FOR A PEACEFUL LIFE AT LAST :D

Cheers for that, could I just ask 1.Is it easy to fit? 2.If I go to a plumbers merchant and ask for a new fill valve are they all the same 3.Any idea how much? :wink: Thanks again !

Help,my toilet cistern has started making a very loud howling noise as it finishes refilling! Sometimes it's so bad it sounds like every pipe in the house is vibrating (a bit embarrising in the dead of night!) I have looked in the cistern and if you touch certain parts it will stop, there is a...

I have just put up a partition wall. I have used Bluehawk jointing filler and tape for the joins, but no matter how hard I sand its still a very poor finish :x . It is very uneven because of the recess on the edges of the plasterboard and the wall it joins and has variences of about 3mm. the...

:D THANKS EVERYONE :D

I need to extend the wire from the cooker control switch to the cooker as I am relocating my cooker. I can't just put a new wire from the cooker control switch as this would mean me destroying more wall than I wish to.Can any one suggest some kind of flex connector that I use to join wires, put...

Sorry not sure of official wire rating, but measures about 16mm by 6mm, and your right, its a good idea to move the plate down.thanx :D

thanks folks ! you people are quick! I only want to run the wire under two tiles from the face plate(pictured above) to come out behind the cooker into the cooker connection terminals. Its because the old cooker was taller, and now I can see a big ugly wire, and because the ceramic hob fits...

Hey thanks very much for the quick reply !!!! So everything should be safe for me then? Whilst you about FWL can I be cheeky see if you know the answer to one futher question. Between the cooker on/off control switch and the cooker, there is a junction box, all this seems to do is join the...
