Had a couple of days off with man flu. Meanwhile, neighbour's been having work done. Making a right racket, heavy drilling at/near the party wall for several hours. The room's a kitchen - about 3mx4m. It's stopped now and this has popped out:
I don't think that's a normal extractor - it's way over the (what I thought was) standard. That must be 25cm . . .
Any idea what it might be for?
I would/will ask but far too ill to venture out :-)
Looks like a normal 6" duct... lots of kitchen extractors use that size.
Unless those are unusually large bricks :-)

Er is that through the party wall venting onto your space perchance? Nice!

Cooker hood maybe.
......and i.m.e. 150mm is the ideal size for domestic kitchens. 100mm plastic flexible ducting coupled to a weedy fan isn't worth a flying ....
Are your neighbours Turkish/Indian/Chinese?
Have you spotted any neon signs being erected?
:-)
I won't be drawn :-)
It is a fair bit bigger than 150mm using the bricks as a measure (they're standard 9" x 4.5" bricks). I guess it's just an extractor, a bloody big extractor.
That was my immediate reaction too :-D They're not blanking out the widows too are they RJH? And plumbing into your electricity? And clumping about in the loft a lot?
(sorry!)

Mmm that "oregano" smells REALLY fresh darling (giggle)....

Aligns nicely with my kebab shop theory :-)
Apparently a single plant has a street value of around £300. Makes you think dunnit :-)
A grill for a 4" fan usually covers two brick courses. So probably a 5" fan.

A standard brick is 9" long, 4.5" wide and 3" high, which makes that about a 6" duct.

Colin misquoted.
That is an exact quote from your post.

But they're RJH's words, not Richard's
Fair enough, but in that case my error was a wrong attribution, not a misquote.
