Hi , my sister is having a new kitchen fitted soon and i am doing the wiring for it , id just like to check if an extractor fan must be fitted that vents to the outside air , as it stands im not sure on the situation.cheers
 
hi building regs approved document F states mechanical extract 30 litres above or within 300mm
or 60 litres elswhere basicly you can vent your hob extract to the outside or
fit a 6 inch fan
 
Thanks old dog , i think they are having a fan above the cooker but it is only a re circulating fan
 
Agree with old dog.

It should vent to outside air, although it does not have to be the extractor hood over the cooker.

It can be elsewhere in the room but has to have a higher extraction rate, as pointed out.:)

why was bco involved in fitting a kitchen?
 
mr building control cant go and whistle cos of part p, new build or not. kitchens like bathrooms are special location so ALL work must be tested and registered, unless you wanna run the risk

Where on your part p certificate is the section for fan type?:)
 
so as i said in the first place recirculating or external extract, as its not a new build so you can fit whichever you like and mr bco can whistle.:)
(or am i still missing something)
