Thanks for the replies and I will take these points on board. I was thinking of a low profile ceiling mounted extractor. Somebody else mentioned a pop-up but I've read that not all are compatible with gas hobs and I suspect that it would have to be re-circulation to the floor under the island...

Hi Currently in the planning process for some building works, and also the early stages of a kitchen design. We have been intending to reuse our existing 5 burner gas hob on a long kitchen island but I wanted to find out if there are any Gas Safe/Building regulations if there are any...

Our Victorian ground floor conversion flat has a toilet that suffers from condensation or damp (see picture). The room does not have heating and no external ventilation other than through a trickle vent in a modern window and is accessed through the bathroom with limited ventilation. A damp...

Hi Water on our new patio appears to be draining along the outside brick wall of our house (outside the lounge) due to the slope of the entire patio. The paving in this area seems to be fairly horizontally flat rather than tilting away from the property. The rain water is supposed to drain...
