Default Wiring a cooker hood

Could you remove the existing socket and replace with an ultra flat
blanking plate or maybe fashion a very thin cover so it is as flush to
the existing tiles as possible. Was thinking you will have the issue of
the socket bringing the new extractor off the wall a little.


Yes, I thought that too, and there is just enough clearance behind the
socket to recess it slightly - certainly enough to make it flush with
the tiles, and it will never be used as a socket anyway, at least while
the cooker hood is in place.
