Hi all

Hope this is the correct sub forum.

A friend is currently redoing his kitchen. The chimney type extractor hood is on a party wall.

I mentioned that, if the flooring joists run the wrong way, he could take the ducting up and through both the plasterboard ceiling and the floorboards above. There is a bath directly above which could hide the ducting as it runs out through the external wall.

His other half works for the fire brigade and she refuses to entertain the idea because of the lack of firebreaks.

On reflection she does seem to have a valid point.

Would something like the Manrose aluminium ducting be OK- it says that it is part F compliant (not sure what part F means though..).

Tnx
