Need Someone to Check Bathroom Extractor Fan Ducting

Hi everyone,

I need someone to check the ducting on our bathroom extractor fan. Basically, we have recently had our bathroom refurbished and the tradesman wanted to let the ceiling extractor fan air into the loft. I told him it needs to go outside otherwise it will cause damp/condensation problems in the loft and begrudgingly he took it out to the eaves of the roof. As we had a lot of problems with him I want someone to check it has been done correctly so it doesn't cause issues in the future. I would welcome any recommendations

Can you see a vent or grille somewhere externally in the region of your bathroom ?


If not then he hasn’t done it properly. Even if there is evidence of an opening to vent the moist air you will still need to check that the trunking goes all the way from the fan to the open air.

Thank you for your reply. I watched him put the grille externally on the eaves of the house but it is the flexible ducting that I need checked by somebody. This is for two reasons. The first is that I never actually saw him connect it as it is in the loft and despite asking him to provide a photo he did not and secondly the distance from where the fan is in the bathroom is quite a way to the eaves of the house which meant he needed more than one piece of flexible ducting. So even if he did connect it to the grille I need somebody to make sure it is sealed and that the condensation is not escaping into the loft.

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
