Bathroom venting

[akist]

I have a small bathroom and next to it a small guests toilet. They are not vented because they are in the middle of the house downstairs. I need to arrange for final inspection and not sure what to do about this. We have other bathrooms in the house and not really use these two, but I suppose this is not a reasoning they will accept.

What else can I do other than venting to the outside which is almost impossibly hard?

Another idea, can I have a temporary vent to the outside, like a long flex hose? Like those portable A/C systems that vent through a flex hose out of a window?

If it’s under your local BCO and this bathroom is new you need to read part F of the building regs

Shoot the architect .

The bathroom needs a permanent fan of suitable capacity.

The toilet can have a window, else needs it's own fan too.

Can I close the door "I promise not to use it" ? Or, "I promise not to use it until a fan is fitted" ?

If they're new then you will need to provide an extractor to each. The only thing with the window in the wc is that no window requires the fan to be fed off the light and fitted with an overrun. Can you get a duct up into the roof?

As others have suggested, have a converstion with your designer.

Reminds me of a dodgy refurb somebody had.

Switch in downstairs cloakroom for fan. Located the fan in the loft and not connected to anything and no way to run the vent pipe from the ground floor, through the 1st floor and into the loft
