The work continues and now it's time to fit the new hob. I need a stainless splashback that's about 1100 x 700, I've found a few via Google but they seem expensive for a flat bit of s/s, before I start ringing around has anyone else had one made? what did it cost? How are these things usually fixed?

Seen a few of these on eBay, prices vary. Try the link below:

Not the answer you want ... but ... to 'marry up' the gap between the rear of the (700 mm wide)hob and the extractor hood's glass canopy, I had a piece of glass cut profiled to mate to the canopy, edge-champhered, pierced for fixings and tempered. I just went to a large-ish glass merchants [selling double-glazing, mirrors, sheet glass etc.] with a dimensioned sketch and waited a week or so. I can't recall the price (and it was a few years ago). It looks good, keeps the wall free of splatter and is easy to clean.
My glass 'back shield' is pre-pierced and accommodates 'top-hat' rubbery grommets - the contraption is held to the wall with chrome-capped 'mirror screw'. I took the advise of the merchant. Where the back-shield and canopy meet (glass/glass) I've used a bead of clear silicon.
If you go this route - the fixing piercing must be made _before_ the glass is tempered. AIUI, attempting to drill into tempered glass is somewhat akin to drilling an inflated balloon. {It's the surface tension that makes the tempered glass 'safe').

Doh, I hadn't thought of eBay. Thanks.
