Finally got time to finish the kitchen extraction today. Whilst nothing went horribly wrong it was the ball ache I was anticipating.
Now it's 150mm metal ducting from the top of the kitchen extractor all the way to outside. It's made a world of difference to reducing the noise of the cooker hood and it actually does what it was designed to now!
Hardest bit was getting the position of the hole in the fascia in the right place. Despite removing all plastic head nails I couldn't get it off - I think it was secured right at the top too, under the roof and I wasn't prepared to go that far to get it off. Removing the nails gave me enough play to see behind it with my phone camera and then mark up where to drill the hole.
