Kitchen extension ventilation - what's involved and how to get it right
Briefly

Ventilation is essential in kitchen extensions due to increased moisture from cooking. Experts stress the importance of both passive (natural) and active ventilation systems. Kitchen extension ventilation needs may differ from regular kitchens, influenced by factors like the extension's size, the amount of glazing, and usage frequency. All extensions adhere to UK building regulations (Part 'F'), but specific requirements may vary significantly based on these factors, requiring careful planning to ensure a healthy kitchen environment.
"All extensions will need some passive or natural ventilation, but as kitchens are prone to moisture from cooking, dedicated active ventilation such as cooker hood extraction, and natural ventilation, is vital."
"Both are covered by the same regulations, which is Part 'F' of the UK building regulations, however the size of the kitchen extension in relation to the existing property, the amount of glazing, and the number of people likely to use the space will have an impact on the ventilation needs."
