Couldn't you just run the wire from the existing to the new socket on
the tiles? Assume that new hood completely covers the existing socket?
Eg if you put a switched fused spur faceplate on the existing could you
get to the switch by taking the cowl off the chimney bit?

The existing socket will be completely covered by the hood, rather than
the chimney, which is a pain. The old hood was over an electric hob,
but the new hood will be over a gas hob, which means more clearance
required (750mm), so the new hood has to be higher on the wall. Bummer.
