Cooker Hood and motor replacement
Hi, I have a kitchen cooker hood and motor that needs replacing as the motor is about 10+ years old now and has stopped working. My question is do I need an electrician to do the job? It would be a straight swap, I'd need the person to find a new cooker hood and motor. The issue is there are tiles all around the original cooker hood. When our existing one was installed we had tiles placed around it and now my family don't want to remove the tiles but need a cooker hood that can fit within them. Would this be possible to do?

Leak through bathroom light fitting
Hello, I live in a flat and the flat above me had a burst pipe in their bathroom late overnight and water poured down through my bathroom light fitting into my bathroom for over an hour or more I would say. A plumber came out and has fixed the leak and the water has finally stopped coming through my light. I've turned off the power for the light at the mains, it is one switch for all lights in the flat. I wanted to check how long should I let the power stay off for to dry out the light fitting and should I avoid taking a shower in case it adds extra moisture or would that not be a problem? The light fitting is a 4 bulb spotlight fitting so I don't think any water actually got into the electric wiring part it was all coming through gaps around the bulbs. Thank you in advance
