Discuss Advice on Cooker hood fuse access to replace in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Many thanks for the kind advice.Forget about breaking in from outside, just do as neat a job as you can on the coving and reinstate later. It's unlikely to be a "Clyde-built" installation anyway, I agree...so probably no screws in there, and probably the chimney will be shy of the ceiling once you remove the coving. Get it off, rewire it in a sensible, accessible fashion, make good and the job's a good one.
Good advice about the ladder too...and FFS do NOT stand on the hob!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH .You were absolutely spot on . No screws on the chimny after removing cutting mastic arround the caving .Forget about breaking in from outside, just do as neat a job as you can on the coving and reinstate later.

Run a cut round the mastic. There may be a screw on each side covered by coving, or with luck Kev has left them out and the stainless steel cover will be able to be wiggled off. The cover normally butts onto the ceiling rather than through it. Be careful, as you'll be up a ladder etc and you can't lean on that cooker hood too much . Hopefully underneath the cover will be a nice bit of ducting going up and out and the missing cable going into a switched fuse connection unit. Change the 3A fuse and reinstate. I mentioned the possibility of exposed wires just to remind that Kev may not have done a good job on that bit.
