"That would be no good the extractor hood would not be powerful enough if the extraction goes up and has bends in it you need 2 put an extractor fan in that ducts through the wall"

Answered on 17th Jan 2022 - Member since Jan 2022 - report"Yes is the simple answer
But a duct or flu will have to be run and holes cut in the ceiling
However, if it is on an outside wall it would be cheaper and easier to go through the wall
The cost of the fan and ductwork is around £400 but may vary depending on how far they have to go"
"Easily done, run ducting from the new extractor into the loft and out.
It will be around the £3-400 mark"
