Need Someone to Check Bathroom Extractor Fan Ducting

[jackpotcat]

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 now fully understand the position. Unfortunately, I'm no spring chicken and am not able to sprint up into your loft to help.

No worries. That is the reason I don't want to scramble around in the loft as I am also no spring chicken

If you can't find anyone to clamber up there - here's an alternative: a smoke test.
