What is the recommended minimum height above the hob for a cooker
hood.
Thank you

Dunno, but we've been looking in kitchen showrooms recently ('cos SWMBO
wants a new kitchen!) and many of the cooker hoods we've seen are quite low.
In many cases, if I bent over to look in a saucepan on the hob, I'd be in
danger of smashing my head on the cooker hood - some of which have sharp
corners.

Incidentally, some of the hoods don't actually have a horizontal surface
over the hob, but extend upwards from nothing at the bottom at an angle of
45 degrees of so. Anyone got one of these? Do they actually work? [They are
much more attractive from a 'prevention of injury' point of view - so we're
quite attracted to them as long as they work.]
