Install the vent on the exterior wall for the extractor fan over the cooker

[guessaname]

I'm looking for a person to do this job in South west Dublin

My house is a standard 3-bed semi detached house with kitchen on the ground floor. I would like to install (drill) the vent on the exterior wall for the extractor fan over the cooker. Currently there is about 4-5 inch hole on the interior wall but there is no hole on the exterior wall. It means all the steam from the cooking is extracted and released between the interior and exterior wall. So I would like an estimate to drill a hole on the external wall block work, install 4-5" pipe through the wall for the vent, do proper sealing and cover the vent outside properly to prevent draft coming in. I was advised to position the vent pipe slight downwards (towards the ground outside) to prevent rain /moisture running back into the house. So could you please give me the quotation for this. I can provide the vent pipe and outside cover if you want but you need to tell me what size, shape etc I need to buy beforehand.


Can anybody please suggest a person who can do this job for me?

Thank
G
