Extractor fan ducting

[lizard89769]

Hi,

I have an extractor fan in my kitchen, the problem is that it exhausts the air back into the room rather than taking it outside.

So I want to get a hole made and vent fitted onto the outside wall then connect this to the extractor fan via some ducting.

I have thought about trying to do it myself but I have decided against taking that risk ; so what kind of tradesperson would I ask to do this job ? I tried asking my electrician and carpenter but they both said they didn't do that kind of thing, so I am really confused now as to who might do that kind of thing.

Anyone with a large size core cutter and drill. Those who fit boilers or toilets for example.

However probably easier and cheaper to go and hire the tool for a couple of hours. They are not difficult to use.

Depends on the route to the outside, mine goes up thru ceiling and out thru eaves [ground floor extension] so no core drill was required.
