Installing a new cooker hood

Question

We need a cooker hood installed in our kitchen. There is no previously installed hood. It needs to be the recirculating hood. The electric socket is ready.Do we just need an electrician for this? How much is it likely to cost?
Thank you

If there was no hood there before then how are you saying the socket is ready as this needs to be in the tower part of the fan so not on show and its a fixed piece of equipment which means it needs to be on a fused connection unit as it has to have an isolation point . There are regulations that has to be met so defiantly not a DIYr £50 plus whatever works needs doing

Hello! How are you?!

You must keep in mind that it’s not just about connecting your extractor fan. A good professional needs to check the condition of the wall where it will be installed (in many homes, there are no safe conditions for installation), then inspect the cables, sockets, and protections (circuit breakers), and only after that proceed with the installation. A job like this would cost around £150.00 to £200.00.

Always consider the service being carried out and the guarantee of it, not just the price!
This is also a tip for the ‘electricians’ here.

Thank you very much.
