Key points

Height and safety

The distance between hood and hob follows the manufacturer's instructions. The cooker's gas connection is never touched: it is for a qualified professional.

Electricity and ducting

Connection is done with power off; adding a socket or line is for an electrician. A new opening to the outside may need approval from the building manager or owner.

Ducted or recirculating?

Ducted is more effective; recirculation suits cases with no outlet, with filters to replace.

Must the outside wall be drilled?

Only to create an outlet; in a building, check required approvals.

Is the hood supplied?

That is to be agreed; give the model.

What information should I give?

Hood type and width, hob, existing duct and socket, and wall type.
