    Island cooker hood replacement - long chimney/duct

    My island kitchen extractor fan/hood doesn't seem to be removing steam and I'm assuming I need a new one? It was already in the property when I bought it and the property is a converted chapel with the kitchen on the upper floor, so the chimney part goes up to the roof & is about 1.2m long. My question is, is it possible to change the hood without changing the chimney part? Is it a universal fit? My rough measurements show that the square is abt 29x29cm? The current one is an old baumatic 90cm unit. Thank you.

    EICR and appliance installation

    Is it possible to do a 10-year EICR and replace two kitchen appliances by the same electrician on the same day? Will I save money by arranging the jobs like this? Or should I have the inspection and the installation done separately?
