Guys, I've discovered that the supply to the above extractor is actually via a plug and socket which is covered by the upper (square) section of the hood. The fuse has gone in said plug (due to a bulb blowing in the hood), and the only way to access the plug is to remove the whole lower pyramid section of the hood from the wall, then drop down the upper square section, consequently disturbing any finishing filler around the upper edge, along with a line of grout where the lower section meets the edge of the tiles; all this to change a bloody fuse!! Sooo, does anyone know of any reason, regs-wise etc. why I shouldn't put in an FCU, probably to the left of the upper square part of the hood? I don't believe this area gets excessively hot, due to the presence of the hood itself, and although maybe not the most aesthetic of solutions, it's got to be better for my client than removing the whole shebang when a bulb blows for instance!! Not sure who installed this, but it's a nightmare.
Cheers in advance for any advice
