Hi,
We had a new kitchen installed in Nov. The kitchen fitter vented the cooker on an external wall that at the time faced onto a building site with a partially constructed house on it.
Since then the builder have effectively raised the ground level on their side by a foot. Now the external vent is about head high into the path that services the back door of the new house.
Our kitchen wall effectively acts as the boundry between the 2 houses and the back wall of the new house is about 1m from the vent across the path.
The new owners have moved in and are not too impressed with the vent ... so
1: Does it counter any regs as it stands?
2: Any ideas for a solution, short of taking my kitchen roof out and re-routing it 4m.
Thanks.
