Hi, wondering if anybody could help please? My neighbours do no like our kitchen extractor and have covered the outside vent up with a wooden box. The wooden box is on their land in their front garden. I am concerned that this may be a fire hazard. Could somebody advise please? I have added an aerial photo from our upstairs window and a photo taken from our street. Thanks

Without a full on site survey it would not possible to give a satisfactory answer, also I would be very reluctant to get involved in a neighbour dispute.

Why do you think it's a fire hazard? Are you concerned about smoke or flames entering the vent if someone set fire to the wood?

I won't comment on the potential fire hazard, but what's their problem with the vent? How can they think it's acceptable to attach something to your wall?

I assume you live in England?
