I have a kitchen fitted on the first floor and asked for the extractor hood to be vented to outside. Thought the builder would run it along wall and make a vent in the wall to outside but he put the hose up the ceiling to the loft and ran to the eaves and fit a vent to the softfit but just discovered that the extractor hose has not been fitted to the vent but left open at the eaves. It's too tight space for me to get in there to fit to the vent. The gap between the loft and eave is very narrow so the hose was squashed down but still stuck and not gone through to the eave, the builder left there and never fitted to the vent and did not tell me. I think he hopes I never found out. Have I been taken for a ride with this unfinished job? and is it legal/safe for extractor hood to be run up the loft like this?
