Replacing a cooker hood
One for any kitchen fitters.
The cooker hood has given up, it's a curved glass one 90cm wide and the metal shroud bit is about 30cm x 27cm and goes through a cutout in a horizontal wood panel level with the tops of the wall cupboards.
How are these normally removed? I'm guessing something like, remove the filters, push the shroud bit out of the way to get to the screws holding a hangar plate for the fan unit?
Are the shroud bits a standard size or am I going to struggle? Ideally I don't want to be messing with the fitted wooden bit.
Cheers!

sorted bySo looks like the metal shroud was fitted first then wooden alcove(?) Cut to surround it then all sealed in. Keen to just replace the sucky bit not rebuild the rest.
