There were a number of pipes installed in the kitchen floor. These were for various services such as water, drainage etc. It only occurred to us a few weeks ago that one of the holes – for the extractor fan – had disappeared when the floor was screeded.
The extractor pipe was fairly obvious and we had covered the top with black plastic (to ensure that no debris went down the hole). However, the chap putting down the screed seemed to think that this should have been cemented over!
A quick look at the plan and we found the measurements for the location of the pipe. Unfortunately, it took a couple of goes to relocate it.
How do we find it? We played Absolute 80’s down one end of the pipe and listened for it on the kitchen floor! Yes, really.
The hole for the extractor fan should have been 375mm from the wall. It looks as if it was a little out, but thanks to Absolute 80s Radio we found it!
