DANGER OF THE WEEK AWARD

Bad New Home Builder

---

In a previous post I showed how an unscrupulous kitchen fitter (for a for large national retailer of kitchens) put in an exhaust pipe that was camouflaged to look correct but was a con job. See previous post here. I thought I’d take this opportunity to show another bodge that I viewed a couple of days ago when asked to fit a new extractor, cooker and hob. The company that built this new house only a few years ago didn’t seem to notice that the extractor pipe that was connected to the hood ran up and across the cupboards but ended at the inside block wall! The outside wall hd a hole in it with a vent attached but the hole was never put through.

In a related incident I found the following extractor about four weeks ago in a flat where we were looking for a plumbing leak. When I removed the covering to look for pipe work I found that this extractor was never actually hooked up to the aluminium vent pipe. This flat was also only a few years old and had only one owner.
