I need to get a vent for an extractor fan installed fairly sharpish. I currently have an extractor fan over my hob, but it's set to recirculate (i.e. uses carbon or something to remove the smell). I had it installed like this, as it was too difficult to install a vent as I'm on the 1st floor of a block of flats.
However, painters have just put up scaffolding so they can paint the windows - so it's the ideal time to get someone in. So should I be hiring a builder? A plumber? Or are there people to do this job specifically (in north London ideally). Can anyone give me some pointers?

plumbers always carry a 100mm core drill ..and this is the size hole you will need for an extractor it wont take long to do but the hard part is to get one out to do it ..you could go to a hire shop and hire the drill and bit .. you will then need an electrician t o wire one up or you could ask them to drill the hole as well

Phone an electrician and ask. When I had my tumble dryer vent installed they were happy enough to drill through the outside wall to put that vent in.
