We have recently had a new kitchen fitted complete with a new Cooker Hood and both me and my husband are now wondering if there is a standard or compliant height for the Cooker Hood fitting?
The reason we ask this is because the Cooker Hood that was fitted is set at 650m which the fitter said was regulation height and yet both my husband, who is average height and me at 5'6" have banged our heads on it when we use the cooker, in fact the one corner actually went into the eye-brow bone of my husband's eye. We have asked the Company concerned and they say that it was fitted at the right height and can't be moved, but surely if we are banging our heads on it that can't be right. We have even offered to purchase an alternative hood, but the Company say it would still be fitted the same.
If anyone knows if the height is correct I would be most grateful to know.
Many thanks.
