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.

    • Another recommendation - excellent, fast work. 
    • I appealed against a fine issued by Southwark, and won. The adjudicator was businesslike, but also mentioned that several cases had come to him caught out by the same confusing signage.    Is there any other parking that could reasonably have been used? Does the shop advise where to park?  It sounds as though the time in the bay was a reasonable use. Even if you lose, I doubt that Southwark can increase the original charge. If you are going to appeal, don't delay. Take pictures of the scene if you think that might help, also provide the weight of the goods if that supports your case.
    • Thanks - an overnight stay,  a drip and painkillers seems to have done its work!
    • Depends on who can afford to purchase or lease it and what The Dulwich Estate, Stonegate and Southwark Council will allow to be built or operate on the site. Whatever it is, it needs to attract footfall for itself and businesses around it. The question to ask is what does that part of Dulwich need, that is not within the locality, which will attract custom and footfall, that the site can accommodate and that can offer parking which it already has available. In between Cox's Walk, Dulwich Village, Dulwich College and the park, some sort of establishment that sells drinks and meals. Bit then I'm just chucking ideas around, or maybe someone, Dean, has some radical idea's to take it in a totally different direction.    Whatever it becomes it has to be better than the rotting site and eyesore it currently is. Good luck to anyone who takes on the project to redevelop the former Grove Tavern.
