I need a builder to install a kitchen extractor fan in my Kitchen in Dublin and need quotes! Their is no piping or hole but their is an electrical socket.

A builder builds houses or extensions. We need to get away from giving a handyman the title of builder. It confuses a lot of homeowners. They expect "builders" standards from a handyman & often get handyman to take on work he/she isn't qualified to do. Rant over

Most tradesmen can do this. It's trying to find one that will do it right.

Some will cut/drill a bigger hole than required, fit the fan & walk away leaving a big draft. The correct thing to do is to drill out a 4"of round hole with a core bit.. Insert a 4"pipe & fill any gaps with expanding foam. Plumber, carpenters, electrician etc can all do this job, as can a good handyman. You need to know in your own mind how you want it done & explain this to them. You don't want a 6" hole with a bit of cement filling the two Inch gap. The fact that there is an electric socket should rule out the need for an electrician
