  • 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?

    Neighbours new roof

    My neighbours have just had their English tile roof replaced. All the builds around here are metal framed houses, tiled roofs and then the inside sprayed with insulation. The neighbours have had theirs completely over hauled. Their roof now sits slightly higher than mine and a bonding gutter has been added between the properties, the roofers removed some of my tiles and the foam to tie the roofs in, i can now see daylight in my loft, does this matter or is it ok as long as the tiles have correct cover?
